THIS work comprises nearly eight hundred pages of 
matter, closely connected with the history of Christ 
Church, Hartford. It is believed that it will interest 
many of the Churchmen of the Diocese, as well as many 
of the descendants of those who were formerly connected 
with the parish. The history of any body of Christians 
is also of value to the whole. It is printed on fine paper 
and in very readable type. The sketches of some of its 
former members and of some historical incidents in the 
town will, it is hoped, add something of value to the 
work. The illustrations are numerous, and in the highest 
style of the art. Attention is called to the list of Bap- 
tisms, Marriages, and Burials, comprising nearly two hun- 
dred pages, w^hich will be of especial interest to the 
genealogist. 

The price of the volume, in handsome red buckram, 
has been placed at four dollars. My share of the work 
has been one of love and duty ; if every copy should be 
sold at this price it would fall short of rem,unerating the 
gentleman by whose generosity and interest in the parish 
it is now presented to the public. 

Copies may be procured of Belknap & Warfield, ']']

T[ A prayer for the Parish. 

An ®'^^^5?^S ^^^f Who hast built Thy Church upon 

^^ the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Jesus 
Christ Himself being the Chief Corner-Stone ; Grant 
that, by the operation of the Holy Ghost, all Christians 
may be so joined together in unity of Spirit, and in the 
bond of peace, that they may be an holy temple acceptable 
unto Thee. And especially to this people give the abund- 
ance of Thy grace ; that with one heart they may desire 
the prosperity of Thy Holy Apostolic Church, and with 
one mouth may profess the faith once delivered to the 
Saints. Defend them from the sins of heresy and schism : 
let not the foot of pride come nigh to hurt them, nor 
the hand of the ungodly to cast them down. And grant 
that the course of this world may be so peaceably ordered 
by thy governance, that Thy Church may joyfully serve 
Thee in all godly quietness ; that so they may walk in 
the ways of truth and peace, and at last be numbered 
with Thy Saints in glory everlasting ; through Thy merits, 
O Blessed Jesus, Thou gracious Bishop and Shepherd of 
our souls. Who art with the Father and the Holy Ghost 
one God, world without end. Amen. 



EXPLANATORY 




COMPLETE, consecutive history of the Parish of 
Christ Church is not proposed in this volume. 
The vote of the Vestry passed May 2, 1893, con- 
templated a.n Index of the Parish Meetings, an 
Extract of all votes of importance, and an Ab- 
stract of the Trust Funds of the Parish. This 
abstract is embodied in the Report of the committee to the 
Vestry of January 2, 1894, in which a full history of the several 
Funds is to be found, together with some other matters not 
originally contemplated, which strictly belong to a history of 
the Parish. The indexing has been put into the hands of Mr. 
Frank Farnsworth Starr. 

The Report on the Funds was accepted and ordered to be 
printed, and it was desired that I should undertake the extrac- 
tion of the "important votes." This has been done according to 
my best judgment, and there has been added to these votes such 
comments and further information as seemed proper as forming, 
or belonging to, or aiding in forming, a history of the Parish. 

This volume, therefore, can only be termed A Cotitribution to 
the History of the Parish of Christ Church. I have neither the 
time or the ability to make it a complete history, but willingly 
bring together such materials and knowledge as I have, and such 
as has been given by others, trusting that in the future some one 
may be found for this work who will furnish a more worthy and 
rotmded whole than is now contemplated. 

At the semi-centennial of the consecration of the present 
church btiilding in 1 879, there was a Commemorative Sermon by a 
former Rector of the Parish, Rev. Thomas M. Clark, now the 
Bishop of Rhode Island, which contains much which pertains to 
its history ; and also an Address by Mr. Charles J. Hoadly called 
The Annals of the Parish, from its early beginning to the time of 
the consecration in 1829. This is very full, and of great value; 
the narration is concise and direct, and the historical information 



8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

concerning individuals could not, probably, have been given by 
any other person. 

This volume, then, consists of the Sermon of Bishop Clark, the 
Annals by Mr. Hoadly, the Report of the Committee on the 
Funds, the Extracted important Votes, with some comments 
by myself, together with a List of Baptisms, Marriages, and 
Burials, from 1801 to 1895. The interested reader can dig out 
from these materials a pretty complete history of the Parish, 
and can put it into such shape as best suits his own fancy ; the 
facts being given him, he is not wholly beholden to another 
for his opinions. It may not be alwaj^s the best way to write 
history, but at this time, and under the present circumstances, 
it is the best which can be done. 

If complaint should be made that an unnecessary and almost 
painful minuteness has been displayed in this Contribution, it 
should be remembered that there is here furnished the materials 
of a history, rather than a complete history of an early and prom- 
inent Parish of this Diocese. It is as if the private and domestic 
life of individuals were given to furnish a history of a town or a 
state. Not that all the factors necessary to form a correct and 
compact whole would here be found, but so many of them, and 
so important, as constituting the very foundation of the whole, 
that they cannot be ignored or slightly considered. 

It is supposed that in common with many parishes there has 
not been such a careful keeping of records and papers, as is 
desirable and proper for us as members of a corporation 
which is to continue, probably, longer than the lives of any of us. 
The indifference or carelessness which is here shown, it is true is 
but a counterpart of that which has been found, and will in the 
future be found, in civil life whether of town or state. If the 
materials are wanting, if the items which go to make up a correct 
history are lost, how can our history or future judgments upon 
it be relied upon as correct ? 

To the few members of the Parish from whom information 
has been sought, the writer feels under great obligations. What- 
ever considerations of duty may have influenced me to undertake 
this work, and whatever weariness of labor may have been expe- 
rienced in carrying it on, are fully gratified and compensated for 
by the interest which has been shown in it all though its produc- 
tion, by members of the Parish, and especially by one through 
whose generosity it is now presented to the public. 

The different votes or resolves of the Parish and of the Vestry 
are prefaced with a P. or a V. as a sufficient indication of their 



CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD 



origin. As the work is not broken into chapters but proceeds in a 
continuous line, there need be no difficulty in determining dates, 
if the regular procession of years is closely observed. Some 
such system of annotation seemed necessary. The carefully pre- 
pared Index by Mr. Starr will be found very helpful. The photo- 
graphs of the different rectors are supposed to represent them at 
an age which corresponds, or nearly so, to the time in which 
they were connected with the Parish. 

The Appendix contains many matters which could not prop- 
erly be included in the body of the work, and will be regarded 
with interest by the descendants of those who formerly were 
active in the Parish. The record furnishes the names of those 
who were members of the Church and were prominent in social 
and civil life. Some matters previously omitted are to be found 
in the Addenda. 

It may be noted that little has been said about the religious 
experiences or teachings of the Parish, and that in this respect 
there is a marked contrast to the histories of some religious 
bodies. These are not judged uncharitably when it is said that 
there has been here a marked absence of those disputes on some 
points in theology which have disturbed the peace of numerous 
religious societies in New England. A close following of the 
fundamentals of our faith and doctrine and form of worship, as 
contained in the Bible and Book of Common Prayer, has had a 
restraining influence in preventing individual extravagances and 
eccentricities, which do not commend themselves to the sound 
judgment of the many. 

Neither do I consider that it became me to discuss these 
points, being a layman and unfitted by previous study and occu- 
pation for the work. So I trust rather to the sound judgment 
and teachings of holy and learned men, who for ages have 
studied to place before us the true interpretation of the Holy 
Scriptures, and the example of primitive Catholic usage. A care- 
ful consideration of all of our services will show that we have not 
been neglectful of our religious obligations ; and the Mother 
Church of Hartford may rejoice that so many of her sons and 
daughters have testified to their faith in the one and only true 

God.

Commemorative Sermon 



BY 



THOMAS M. CLARK, D.D., LL.D. 

Bishop of Rhode Island 



[The following sermon by Bishop Clark was preached at 
the Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Consecration of the 
present Church, December 23, 1879. On the preceding Sunday, 
the 2ist, Rev. Dr. George H. Clark, formerly rector of the 
Parish, preached a sermon from St. John xviii, 36. In the 
afternoon of the 23d, after prayer by the Bishop, the rector 
of the parish, Rev. William F. Nichols, made an Address, and 
Mr. Charles J. Hoadly read the Annals of the Parish. In the 
evening there was a Reception at Allyn Hall. The proceedings 
of this celebration with the sermons and addresses were sub- 
sequently published.]

CHANCEL, 1829-1879. 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON 



Psalmxcvi, 6. " Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and 
beauty are in His sanctuary." 

Fifty years ago the building in which we are now assem- 
bled was set apart from all tmhallowed and worldly uses, and 
consecrated to the power and majesty of God's great name. 
I give in full the record made of this event: " On Wednesday, 
the 23d day of December, 1829, being the day appointed by 
the wardens and vestry for consecrating the new church, the 
bishop and clergy, wardens and vestry, assembled at the old 
church, and, at eleven o'clock, walked in procession to the 
new church in the following order: First the vestry, after- 
wards the wardens, clergy, and bishop, where the service of 
consecration was performed agreeable to the rites and usages 
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of 
America, by the Rt. Rev. John Henry Hobart, Bishop of the 
diocese of New York, acting in behalf of Bishop Brownell, 
who is absent on a western missionary tour. Prayers were 
read by the Rev. Professor Humphrey, and the lessons by 
the Rev. Professor Potter of Washington College ; the instru- 
ment of donation was read by the Rev. N. S. Wheaton, 
rector of the parish, and the sentence of consecration by the 
Rev. William Jarvis, rector of Trinity Church, Chatham. 
The sermon, which was truly eloquent, was delivered by 
Bishop Hobart, a copy of which has been requested by the 
wardens and vestry for publication." All the names men- 
tioned here have been struck from the roll of the living 
except one, the young professor who read the lessons, being 
now the revered bishop of New York. 

In the farewell sermon which I delivered here in 1855, I 
find these words: "Others linger near you, who once stood 
in this pulpit and before this altar broke to you the bread of 



14 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

life. One of your former pastors, still in full vigor of body 
and mind, is often seen within this chancel, always ready to 
render those services which are so acceptable to you all, and 
retaining the same interest in this church which once made 
him so useful as your rector. If you would see his monu- 
ment, 'look around you,' for he was the architect of the 
beautiful temple in which he fashioned your souls to heaven." 
It is only an act of justice to the memory of the late 
Dr. Wheaton that I should copy from the records of a parish 
meeting, held on the Sth of March, 1830, this testimonial 
without abbreviation : " Among the many whose liberality 
has been great, whose zeal has been excellent, and whose 
services have been important, the rector of the parish stands 
conspicuous, whether we recur to the incipient idea of build- 
ing, the provision of means, or to the design and ornaments 
of the edifice, presenting to the scientific observer utility, 
strength, and beauty, in a chaste combination of Gothic walls, 
with more than Grecian elegance. May we not also hope, 
by a just expression of our feelings on this occasion, a per- 
petual benefit will result to the parish ? While the massive 
walls of our church shall endure and the records of our parish 
shall remain, though every eye that beheld the foundation of 
the building laid shall be closed, and every tongue that wor- 
shiped at its consecration shall be silent, our record will 
remind both minister and people who shall come after us, of 
the practical compatibility of serving at the altar without 
neglecting the useful and ornamental arts and sciences." 

At the time when this church was built, ecclesiastical 
architecture in our country was at a very low ebb. There 
were a few seemly and some stately edifices scattered here 
and there over the land, copied for the most part from English 
models of the Sir Christopher Wren school, but there was 
not a pure and unadulterated specimen of Gothic to be seen 
anywhere. American architects, or those who called them- 
selves by this name, were inflicting upon the church copies 
of the temple of Bacchus, with bacchanalian adornments ; 
modified Puritan meeting-houses, buildings that were some- 
times mistaken for banks ; mixtures of pseudo-Gothic, Ionic, 



CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 1 5 

Egyptian, and native, at the sight of which we still continue 
to groan. Some of these edifices have been deliberately 
removed or converted to other uses, and others have been 
destroyed by a timely conflagration. In our day churches 
have been erected which far surpass this building in splendor 
and grandeur of design, but none of them are as far in 
advance of Christ Church, Hartford, as this was of all others 
that existed at the date of its consecration. The interior 
arrangements and decorations were not in the beginning 
altogether in harmony with the general style of the building; 
but to-day we have the satisfaction of feeling that this 
reproach is removed, and though there are many fond mem- 
ories lingering around the old enclosure which went by the 
name of a chancel, with its lowly altar, more ambitious read- 
ing-desk, and still more elevated pulpit, all surmounted at 
first by a somewhat thin transparency of the Transfiguration, 
and afterwards by a stained window of which we shall say 
but little, we cannot help acknowledging that the interior of 
this church is now for the first time in keeping with the rich 
and symmetrical exterior, and if good Dr. Wheaton were 
with us to-day, I can imagine the satisfaction with which he 
would regard what you have now done to carry out and com- 
plete his original design. 

It is not incumbent upon me to enter upon the earlier and 
more general history of this parish — that devolves upon one 
more competent for the task than I am ; but I would like to 
say a few words of some of the former rectors, wi.th whom I 
have had a more or less intimate personal acquaintance ; 
leaving the sketch of the Rev. Menzies Rayner, who was 
rector from 1801 to 181 1, in the hands of the historiographer 
of this occasion. First in the list stands the name of the 
Rev. Philander Chase, and will you allow me here to quote 
again from the discourse which I delivered here nearly a 
quarter of a centiiry ago : " Some of you can recall the min- 
istry of the ardent and energetic Bishop Chase ; and perhaps 
you now remember that wintry afternoon when he preached 
his farewell sermon, while the snow was beating against the 
windows in the plain, old wooden building where you then 



l6 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

went up to worship. You may have seen him starting the 
next morning in the storm, as he went forth relinquishing 
the comforts and refinements of the place where, he declares, 
he passed the sunniest portion of his eventful life, to discharge 
the rough work of a pioneer of the church in what was then 
a western wilderness." I do not know that any of those 
whom I address to-day can recall the scene, for it is now 
more than sixty years since he laid down his rectorship of 
this church, to become, two years afterwards, the first Bishop 
of Ohio, and in 1835, the first Bishop of Illinois. And as 
indication of the estimate that was placed upon his labors 
here, I quote from a long letter addressed by the wardens 
and vestry, in 1818, to the standing committees of New 
Jersey and Pennsylvania : "When he entered upon his paro- 
chial duties here he found the parish weak and containing 
scarcely thirty communicants, and when he quitted it he left 
it augmented in members and in attachment, and with com- 
municants increased to nearly one hundred and ten." The 
communication was intended to counteract certain objections 
which had been urged against his consecration as Bishop, 
and is upon the whole a very warm commendation of this 
remarkable man, but it contains the following somewhat 
peculiar sentence : " This zeal, the subscribers do not seek 
to withhold the confession, united as it must be {sic) because 
springing from, a warmth and ardor of feeling, may some- 
times have been felt to so great a degree as on some occa- 
sions probably to have transcended the limits of prudence." 
As there were very little of commonplace in the life of Bishop 
Chase, so there were no neutral tints in his character ; the 
lines were sharply drawn and the coloring was deep and 
strong. Right or wrong, he was not to be easily diverted 
from his course, and his own strong conviction that he was 
sure to be right was one of the secrets of his power. He 
was never ashamed of his Divine Master, and did not seem to 
know what the fear of man meant. One or two incidents in 
his life, which have been furnished by a respected clergyman 
of this diocese, will give a better idea of some of the salient 
points of his character than any general statements could do 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. 1 7 

The clergyman says: " I was a delegate to the General Con- 
vention at Cincinnati, in 1850, from the diocese of Missouri. 
On our return to St. Louis I took passage in a steamboat, and 
on getting on board found Bishop Chase and his wife return- 
ing to Illinois by the same route. We had expected to reach 
home for Sunday, but the water in the Ohio was low, and we 
were frequently stuck on sand-bars, so that we were ten days 
in making the trip. We had on board about three hundred 
passengers. The Mississippi was then much nearer the far 
West than now, and the passengers were of much rougher 
material than would be found within five hundred miles of 
the same point at the present date. Few of them had ever 
been present at a liturgical service, much less seen a live 
bishop. After the dinner tables had been cleared on Sunday, 
all were summoned by the bell 'to hear the bishop preach.' 
The long saloon was crowded on both sides the row of tables, 
and at the head sat the old bishop in an arm-chair, as he 
was at that time accustomed to sit in addressing a congrega- 
tion. Opening his prayer-book, he read and remarked upon 
the fitness of two or three of the preliminary sentences, pre- 
paring the heart for worship. He then read and commented 
in like manner on the exhortation. That done, he said, 
' Now, dear friends, let us kneel down and confess our sins to 
Almighty God,' This was a usage rather strange to most of 
the crowd, so but two or three churchmen present and a few 
women knelt. With a little deeper bass the bishop's voice 
rolled through the saloon, ' My friends, kneeling is the fit 
position in which to confess our sins to God ! ' A few more 
went down. But no half-way doings would answer. The 
old man roared in a voice of thunder, and bringing his fist 
upon the table with a force which made everything shake, 
' Kneel down, I say, every one of you ! ' And down they all 
went, as if they had been shot." 

In one parish of his diocese was a clergyman of consid- 
erable ability, but whose liberality outwent his regard for 
sound discipline. In the same vicinity were some people 
who were "in good standing in other respectable denomina- 
tions," whose character the bishop did not respect. Their 



1 8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

special offense was stealing- timber from the public lands, 
which was not regarded as a sin, unless one was prosecuted 
for it. These people were in the habit of coming to the 
communion in this clergyman's parish, on the invitation 
which he was in the habit of giving to "members of sister 
churches to stay and partake with us." The bishop, intend- 
ing- to be present on a certain Sunday, desired the rector to 
abstain from g-iving his broadcast invitation, and gave as a 
reason the unfit character of some of the people who would 
accept it. The rector refused to comply with the bishop's 
request. " Then," said the bishop, " I will read the rubric in 
your face." The rector gave his customary invitation, and, 
as g-ood as his word, the bishop read in emphatic tones, 
"There shall none be admitted to the Holy Communion, 
until such time as he be confirmed, or be ready and desirous 
to be confirmed." The people of doubtful character did not 
commune ///a/ day. I have time only to add that Bishop 
Chase was a giant in his way, not merely in body, but in 
mind and soul; he was the kind of stuff out of which heroes 
are made, and this is not the material that takes the highest 
polish. 

Much as they had occasion to revere their late rector for 
what he had done in their behalf, and also to love him for his 
essentially kind and noble qualities, it was probably, in some 
respects, a relief to receive, as his immediate successor, in 
1 817, the Rev. Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright, a young man 
of twenty-five, the bland and courteous gentleman, who was 
careful to give no offense in anything, that his ministry 
might not be blamed. Some few of you may, perhaps, recall 
to mind his wonderful gifts as a reader of the service, and 
his singularly persuasive eloquence in the pulpit. In con- 
trast with the fiery utterances of his predecessor, his words 
must have seemed to distil as the dew. He was always a 
most faithful and attentive pastor, full of tender sympathy in 
times of afi:liction, and of pleasant cheer in ordinary social 
intercourse. He remained here but about two years, when 
he "was called, as might have been expected, to New York, 
of which diocese he was made bishop in 1852. As we see,

COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. I9 

the tendency toward the Episcopate, which has so singularly 
manifested itself in the ministry of this church, had already 
set in — the parish being destined in the course of half a cen- 
tury to furnish a larger number of bishops to the church than 
any other in the land. ' On the occasion of Mr. Wainwright's 
resignation, the wardens and vestry addressed the following 
letter to the authorities of Trinity Church, New York: " Nor 
can we in justice to his character permit his departure with- 
out an expression of the satisfaction he has afforded us in the 
performance of his onerous duties here, which have been 
those of the faithful minister, the unaffected Christian, the 
charitable man, and faithful friend. We need only add, as 
members of the true, universal, and Apostolic church, that 
we pray with her daily that in preaching and living he may 
set forth her doctrine to your satisfaction and his own in- 
creased reputation." 

In the year 181 9 the duties of the rectorship were assumed 
by the Rt. Rev. Dr. Thomas Church Brownell, who, in the 
same year, was made Bishop of Connecticut. Continuing to 
discharge the office of rector until i82i,he afterwards settled 
down as a stated worshiper here, and, when not otherwise 
engaged, occupied his pew on the right of the chancel, until 
the end of his days. I cannot undertake, within the brief 
limits assigned me, to pronounce his eulogy. There is no 
place where it is less needed. But still again I must ask 
permission to repeat a few words, copied from my farewell 
sermon: " Thank God, there also yet abides with us, going in 
and out as one of the congregation, the revered and beloved 
presiding bishop of the church, who for a season ministered 
to you in holy things. I cannot express in this place and at 
this time all that is in my heart of pleasure, gratitude, and 
filial affection toward him. Neither can I hope to utter all 
that I know you would have me say in your own behalf. I 
can only pray to God that the church may long continue to 
be blessed with his wise counsels, and with the example of 
his blameless life; and that he may pass by gentle stages up 
to that seat which is reserved for him in the mansions of 
eternal rest." 



20 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The Rev. Nathaniel Sheldon Wheaton, who had acted as 
his assistant, became the rector of Christ Church in 1821, 
and continued to serve the parish in that capacity for the 
ensuing ten years. I have already alluded to the fact that 
the church whose consecration we commemorate was de- 
signed and erected under his supervision — a work for which 
he prepared himself by a careful study of ecclesiastical archi- 
tecture in foreign lands. Every detail of the work came 
under his personal supervision, and it must have been a 
joyful day to him when " the top-stone was laid with shout- 
ings." His devotion to this good work did not, however, 
cause him at all to neglect the other duties of his ministry. 
One who knew him well has borne witness " to the earnest- 
ness, the uniform devotion to duty, and the singleness of pur- 
pose which distinguished Dr. Wheaton's life. His preaching 
was plain, logical, and practical; aiming rather to convince 
the heart and judgment than to captivate the imagination. 
In all his intercourse with his parishioners he showed himself 
a most unselfish man. The poor, especially, ever found his 
sympathy alike to their sufferings and their relief; if the 
alms of the parish failed to furnish the means, his private 
resources were ready and prompt to supply the deficiency." 
In 1 83 1 Dr. Wheaton resigned the rectorship, having been 
elected to the presidency of Trinity College, an institution 
for which he had done much in helping to place it on a sure 
and substantial basis. The beautiful grounds around the 
college, which he did so much to adorn, have passed into 
other hands, and the trees which he planted are leveled to 
the earth; but, in the new and grander structure and more 
magnificent surroundings of which the college now has 
possession, Dr. Wheaton's name will be always remembered 
as one of its earliest presidents and most effective bene- 
factors. I give the following extract from the record of this 
church, entered on the 13th of October, 1831, in accepting 
Dr. Wheaton's resignation: " When we look back for a series 
of more than twelve years, when we bring to mind how great 
has been the accession of parish members, how many have 
been added to our communion, what harmony has prevailed 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. 21 

and prosperity attended our parish in all respects, by the 
blessing of God, through the unceasing labors and pious 
administration of him who, during that period, has served at 
our altar, mingled in our affections, and secured our appro- 
bation and esteem, his loss to us collectively and individually 
can be duly appreciated only by a just estimate of the bless- 
ings we have thus enjoyed." 

Of the brief rectorship of the Rev. Hugh Smith, which 
next ensued, I find but little mention. The resolutions 
passed by the parish, when he resigned, indicate a grateful 
appreciation of his services and high respect for his Chris- 
tian character. After a brief interregnum, during which the 
church was supplied by Bishop Brownell and Dr. Wheaton, 
the Rev. George Burgess was elected rector, on the 27th of 
October, 1834. During the period of his ministry, the tower 
of the church was completed, and the brick chapel in the 
rear was built. It was my lot to deliver the address at his 
burial, and perhaps I could not express my appreciation of 
the work that he did here more appropriately than in the 
words which were used on that sad occasion: "While he was 
the rector of Christ Church, Hartford, his time was divided 
between his study, his church, and the houses of his parish- 
ioners, and no one knew that he ever passed an idle hour. 
There are few clergymen who study as much and write as 
much as he did, and there are few who visit their flock as 
frequently. He sympathized with them in every joy and in 
every sorrow. He came as an angel of counsel to the bed- 
side of the sick, and as a messenger of comfort to the house- 
hold of the bereaved. After he left Hartford, when the hand 
of affliction fell upon the people, they wanted Bishop Burgess 
to come to them in their grief and minister to them. He 
was one of the most indefatigable sermon-writers in the land; 
a certain portion of every day was devoted to this work, and 
the close of the week never found him hurried or unprepared 
for the duties of the pulpit. His discourses, ever fresh and 
new, were well digested, varied in form and subject, instruct- 
ive, and full of the truth and unction of the Gospel. His 
manner was not especially graceful and his elocution not 



22 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

particularly impressive ; but there was an earnestness in his 
utterance, a thoughtfulness and research in his composition, 
oftentimes a beauty and richness in his style, which made 
the hearers oblivious of all defects. It was evident that he 
had carefully explored and mastered the subject which he 
handled, and that he felt the solemnity and truth of what 
he uttered. As a preacher he kept on growing from the 
beginning, and was more popular in the pulpit during the 
closing year of his life than ever before. His whole ptiblic 
and private character was both subdued and intensified by 
the spirit of habitual and sincere devotion. He lived in daily 
and hourly communion with God ; he did nothing without 
seeking divine direction, and prayer came spontaneously 
from his heart. He was a godly man, inasmuch as he made 
his own life subservient to that of God, and was ready to do 
whatever his Master demanded of him. In the days of mar- 
tyrdom he would not have shrunk from the stake, for he 
sometimes took up what was to him a heavier cross than 
death." Here he continued, thus discharging his ministry 
for the space of thirteen years, when this church was again 
called to give up its rector to meet a call to the Episcopate. 
In his letter of resignation he says : " I came amongst you 
young and a stranger. I have passed amongst you the 
flower of my life, and every house has become to me a kind 
of home. So happy in all social and pastoral relations I 
cannot hope to be again. The sphere to which I go is one 
in which the church during my lifetime will probably furnish 
no post like that which I relinquish. But I know that you 
will appreciate the only motives which can impel me, and I 
trust that you will dismiss me with the same acquiescence 
which I feel in what seems to me to be the will of our Lord 
and Saviour." This letter was referred by the wardens and 
vestry to the parish, and at a meeting held in the chapel, 
it was 

Resolved, That we accept this resignation with the profoundest 
sorrow and regret ; sorrow, that he is so soon to be removed from us, 
and the tie to be severed which has united us in the most sacred relation 
for the full period of thirteen years ; regret, that this parish is to be de- 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. 23 

prived of his prudent counsels, his invaluable services, his holy ministra- 
tions, and of those patient, faithful, and most abundant labors of love, 
by which this church has been so long edified and strengthened, its bor- 
ders enlarged, and its prosperity under God permanently insured. 

The Rev. Peter S. Chauncey was elected rector in 1848, 
and resigned in 1850, when the following action was taken at 
a parish meeting : 

Resolved, That in accepting said resignation, a connection is severed 
that has been distinguished on the part of our rector by an amenity of 
deportment in his daily intercourse with his people that has won our 
sincerest esteem, by a sacredness of principle and integrity of character 
which commands our unfeigned respect, and by a most laborious fidelity 
in the discharge of his parochial duties which entitles him to our most 
affectionate gratitude. 

This closes the list of rectors who preceded me in this 
parish, all of whom are now numbered with the dead. For 
one year the church was most acceptably supplied by the 
Rev. Drs. Wheaton, Coit, and Williams, due acknowledgment 
of which was made in a resolution of the parish, passed at a 
meeting held on the 21st of April, 1851. My own rector- 
ship, which began at this time, continued until the ist of 
April, 1855, and was unexpectedly terminated by my election 
to the Episcopate of Rhode Island, the same strange fatality 
in a given direction continuing, one after another, to deprive 
this parish of its pastors. During the second year of my 
ministry here the sum of $18,000 was raised by subscription 
for the purpose of liquidating the debt afid putting the 
church building and premises in order. During the same 
year $4,300 was contributed towards the erection of a chapel 
for the Episcopal city mission. These were the leading 
events which attended my stay in the parish ; everything 
outwardly was peaceful and prosperous, our congregation 
uniformly large and most intelligent and respectable in 
quality. The music was probably to many more attractive 
than the pulpit, and a more harmonious, charitably-disposed, 
and affectionate people could hardly be found anywhere 
within the pale of Christendom. I miss almost all the old 
familiar faces to-day; it would take some time to call over 



24 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

the roll of the departed. I can recall just how they used to 
enter the church, and where they sat, and how the different 
voices sounded in the response. It was rather a venerable 
company of worshipers that gathered here in those times — 
at least, it seemed so then. In certain respects it was 
certainly somewhat unique. The long row of students that 
lined the gallery, the sprinkling of college professors and 
clergymen of various grades, the eminent physicians and 
lawyers, the thriving and enterprising men of affairs, the 
cultivated women whose names were a household word 
throughout the land, combined to give reputation to this 
parish, and made it no easy thing for a modest man to stand 
in his place as their instructor and spiritual guide. 

Since I resigned the rectorship the place has been filled in 
succession by the Rev. R. M. Abercrombie, the Rev. George 
H. Clark, and the Rev. Robert Meech, the Rev. Prof. John T. 
Huntington officiating from 1874 to 1877. As they are all 
still living, it might not be proper for me to utter those words 
of commendation which they deserve, and which might be 
appropriately said if they were not alive to hear them. The 
records of the parish show that their services were well 
appreciated by a loving and grateful people. Of the present 
rector, the Rev. William F, Nichols, who, I trust, may be 
long spared to serve you, it is not necessary for me to speak 
in commendation. This enlarged and beautiful church will 
always commemorate his ministry here, as these solid walls 
continue to speak of the energetic Wheaton, and the graceful 
tower, pointing heavenward, of the saintly Burgess. 

There are few parish churches in the United States in 
which, during the period of fifty years, so many have been 
ordained to the diaconate and to the priesthood — not less 
than ninety-one in all, sixty-four deacons and twenty-seven 
priests. It is an interesting fact that among the first in the 
list were two men of color, who were set apart as missionaries 
to Africa in 1831. Bishop Burgess was ordained priest in 
this church in 1834 ; James R. Bayley, afterward the Roman 
Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore, was here ordained deacon 
in 1839 ; Alfred Lee, the present Bishop of Delaware, was 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. 2$ 

ordained priest in 1838 ; and Abram N. Littlejohn, Bishop of 
Long Island, was also ordained priest in 1849. The Bishop 
of Connecticut and the Bishop of Kansas were confirmed in 
this church. Bishop Burgess was consecrated here on Sun- 
day, October 31, 1847. 

The statistics show that since this church was opened in 
1829, there have been 1,755 baptisms — 336 adult and 1,419 
infant baptisms ; 1,228 persons confirmed ; 404 marriages ; 
and 1,167 funerals. 

When Christ Church was erected, it was not anticipated 
that in the course of half a century the population would 
drift away into what were then the outskirts of the town, 
and leave the church surrounded by shops and stores. In 
many places the old churches have drifted off after the 
people, and left the once sacred site to be occupied for busi- 
ness purposes. The splendid improvements which have 
been made in this consecrated temple are a guarantee that 
this will not be its melancholy fate. It may be harder in the 
future to keep the parish up to the true standard than it was 
in days gone by ; but we trust that as long as this fair city 
shall continue to adorn the banks of the Connecticut, so long 
shall the beautiful tower of this church stand just where it 
now stands, and our children come here to worship, down to 
the latest generation. Such a landmark as this ought never 
to be removed. Let it stand in the very midst of all the 
turmoil of traffic, to remind men that their life consisteth not 
in the abundance of the things which they here possess ; 
preaching its silent sermon all through the busy hours of the 
day. As I have once before said in this place, " The very 
walls of the building where we have so often prayed together, 
where our minds and hearts have gone up in hallowed unison 
to heaven, where we have welcomed the new-born immortal 
to the fold of Jesus at the baptismal font, where we have 
knelt at the altar and taken the Eucharistic bread in memory 
of the bleeding Lamb, and where we have sung the funeral 
anthem over the cold remains of our fathers, our brethren, 
and our children, these very walls seem to press upon us, 
as though they would not let us leave them. The tones of 



26 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

the old bell, which, morning- and evening, have summoned us 
to prayer, hold us with a reproachful spell. The graves of 
the dead whisper to us, * Abide in your place, till you are 
called to join us here.' " 

I can hardly express the gratification which it gives me 
to meet once more my old Connecticut friends and brethren, 
on such a joyful occasion as the present. This is the fourth 
commemorative sermon that I have recently been called to 
preach ; the first was at the celebration of the one hundred 
and fiftieth anniversary of St. John's Church, Providence ; 
the second was the semi-centennial of St. Andrew's, Phila- 
delphia ; the third, the semi-centennial of Grace Church, 
Providence ; and this is the fourth. I begin to feel as if I 
were living in the past. I seem to be walking among the 
shades. The olden time is preponderant. I see the ancient 
rectors, in their black silk gowns and black silk gloves, slowly 
ascending the long pulpit stairs, after the clerk in his desk 
has wailed his last response, and the singers in the loft have 
also wailed their somewhat heavy song, and the children 
have all been quieted (the children went to church in those 
days), and the wardens have seated themselves upright in 
listening attitude, close by their long poles, which, in one or 
two of the churches in my own diocese, still distinguish the 
warden's pew ; and then I can seem to hear the old sermon 
all over again — sound, sensible, scriptural, what we now call 
churchly — not overburdened with ornament, perhaps not 
overladen with logic. It was a good, wholesome service, 
and there were not so many things to distract the people and 
turn their thoughts away from the church as there are now. 
They were not tempted to stay at home, and be preached 
to by the Sunday morning newspaper. They took their 
opinions from the pulpit, rather than from the press. The 
preacher was not called upon to compete with the secular 
lecturer. The wear and tear of daily life was not what it is 
now. We may have finer churches than our fathers had, 
more elaborate music, a richer service, a more gorgeous array 
in certain quarters — we certainly do some things that would 
have made our fathers open their eyes very wide on Sundays, 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. 27 

and wonder if they had not got into the wrong place — we 
may preach more telling sermons ; but, after all, they had 
some blessings which we have lost. The church at large is 
more active than it was in their day ; if it were not, amid 
the surge and roar of the times it would be certain to be 
swamped. 

We have still many things to be thankful for, and I must 
be allowed this day to congratulate my Right Reverend 
Brother of Connecticut upon the condition of his diocese, 
which is now stronger in its proportion to the whole popula- 
tion of the State than any other in the land, and of which 
Christ Church, Hartford, is a type in respect of its stable 
moderation, freedom from excesses and all vicious extremes, 
in its adherence to the old ways and the ancient doctrines of 
the Gospel. God grant that his wise, paternal, and fraternal 
administration may be continued for many years to come! 
It seems but a day or two ago that I joined with others in 
his election to this Episcopate, and now there are but three 
acting bishops on the list who are his seniors. 

I also must congratulate my reverend brother, the rector 
of this church, upon the bright prospects which now open 
before him. It helps one greatly in his ministry to have a 
pleasant and attractive church. It is a great mistake to 
suppose that the humbler classes of the people are repelled 
from a church because of its stateliness and beauty. It 
certainly is not so in other lands. Attendance upon costly 
churches need not be made costly to the worshiper. I think 
that the poorest disciple of Christ will always find a place to 
kneel in this beautiful temple. The time may come when it 
will be made alike free to all ; and also when it may be 
thought expedient to keep the door open' every day from 
sunrise to sunset, in order to give the wayfarer and the busi- 
ness man the opportunity, amid the uproar of the world, to 
turn in here and offer a silent prayer for the guidance and 
help which we all so much need. I also congratulate the 
officers and people of this parish, who have lived to see their 
semi-centennial commemorated under such auspicious cir- 
cumstances. By your generosity we now see this church 



28 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

put on the appearance for which in days gone by we so often 
yearned, with its spacious and fitting chancel, its tasteful 
and convenient furnishing, its rich and appropriate colors; 
and everything in keeping with the august purpose to which 
the edifice is dedicated. You have done a good work for 
posterity, as well as for yourselves. Your children will grow 
up with pleasant impressions of the sanctuary. We have 
been accustomed to think too little of the education that we 
get through the medium of the eye. There is great moral 
power in signs and symbols. What we see may impress 
more deeply than what we hear. For centuries the Christian 
faith was kept alive mainly by what the people looked upon, 
rather than by what was taught them with the lips. We do 
not need, in this more intelligent age, all the devices by 
which their inner life was quickened, but we must not forget 
that there is more than one avenue through which the mind 
is reached. 

I must be allowed still further to congratulate the citizens 
of Hartford at large upon the arrival of this church at such 
a respectable age, and upon the deed by which its prime is 
celebrated. Your city has grown marvelously in strength 
and beauty since I first came here to live, twenty-eight years 
ago ; stately structures have been erected here, which are 
not surpassed by any in the land, and many of your private 
houses are palaces. Shall we have marble banks and hem- 
lock churches ? Is it not fitting that the house of God 
should represent the highest art and the most beautiful deco- 
ration which the skill of man is able to contrive ? Suppose 
that every church in this city were dismantled of its tower 
and stripped of its ornaments, and reduced to a mere shell of 
wood or brick ; would you have the same reason to be proud 
of your city that you have now ? Looking down upon the 
city, so beautiful for situation, from the neighboring hills, 
would there be nothing wanting to make the landscape 
complete ? What would Jerusalem have been without her 
temple. 

If, indeed, we were content with offering to God nothing 
but that which we make with our hands, the gift would 



COMMEMORATIVE SERMON. 29 

assuredly be rejected. Unless we consecrate to Him our 
souls and bodies, making our hearts the temples of the Holy 
Ghost, all our oblations are vain, and our most splendid ser- 
vice is only a weariness to Him. What we most desire and 
pray for is that this house may become to very many the 
ante-chamber of heaven. We come up to these courts that 
we may meet our Saviour here, and by Him be led, through 
the wearisome scenes of this changing world, to the gates of 
Paradise. We come here to confess our sins and pray for 
pardon. We come here that our souls may be fed with the 
Bread of Life. We come here that we may be cleansed and 
purified and made fit for the inheritance of the saints in light. 
There are but few remaining with us who were here when 
the corner-stone of this church was laid. There will be very 
few here when the centennial is commemorated. I trust 
that we may all be found fit to join in the worship of the 
New Jerusalem above.

ANNALS 



OF THE 



Episcopal Church in Hartford 



To THE Year 1829 



BY 



CHARLES J. HOADLY, LL.D. 




CHRIST CHURCH. 1792- 1829. 



ANNALS. 



We cannot refer efforts to plant an Episcopal Church in 
this place to a date earlier than the beginning of the year 
1762 or the end of 1761. Hartford, being an interior town, 
with no manufactures and little commerce, grew slowly. In 
1756 it was only the twelfth town in the Colony as regards 
population, and in 1761 the inhabitants of the town, which 
then included also West Hartford, East Hartford, and Man- 
chester, numbered 3,938, less than half of whom lived within 
the present town limits. At this date there were two Con- 
gregational churches here, and, I suppose, a few Quakers. 
There were twelve missionaries of the Venerable Society 
stationed in Connecticut, most of them having the charge of 
more than one small congregation. The missions nearest 
Hartford were those of Simsbury and Middletown. Al- 
though the seat of government, there were no royal officers 
to lend their countenance to the support of the church, but, 
on the contrary, all political influence was exerted to hinder 
its growth. 

It is not unlikely that from early times there had been all 
along individuals who preferred the discipline and worship of 
the English church, but their number was very small. We 
could hardly expect to find many traces of such a feeling, 
still we do seem to get occasional glimpses of it. Thus, in 
October, 1664, a memorial was presented to the General 
Assembly signed by seven persons, the principal one of 
whom, William Pitkin, and two others, John Stedman and 
Robert Reeve, were of Hartford, and the others belonged to 
Windsor.* They state that they are members of the Church

were ancestors of the writer.

of England, and complain that the ministry of the country- 
will not baptize their children nor admit themselves to the 
communion. They pray, that for the future no law of the 
corporation may be of force to make them contribute to the 
support of any minister or officer of the church that will 
neglect or refuse to take care of them as such members of 
the church or to baptize their children. 

I have a prayer-book which formerly belonged to Francis 
Duplessy, whose gravestone, bearing the date July 3, 1731, / 
may be seen in our ancient burying-ground. He was a 
native of London and at the time of his death engaged to be 
married to a young lady of this town,*- by whose relatives 
this book was preserved for more than a century. "'~"---.^,^ 

However, at the beginning of the year 1762, there were 
so many here who had either been brought up in the Church 
of England or who were favorably inclined to it, as seemed 
to justify efforts for the establishment of a congregation 
which should use its forms of worship. 

The Rev. Thomas Davies, who was graduated at Yale 
College in 1758, and had recently returned in holy orders 
from the mother country, was stationed as a missionary in 
Litchfield county. Upon invitation, he came here and 
preached, sometime between the middle of January and the 
beginning of April, 1762, and he is the first clergyman 
known to have conducted public services in Hartford accord- 
ing to the liturgy of the English church. 

Dr. Samuel Johnson, sometime of Stratford, has been 
called the Father of Episcopacy in Connecticut. He was 
then President of King's College in the City of New York, 
but his interest in the church in his native Colony was 
unabated: he kept himself fully informed of its progress, and 
his advice was constantly asked. He held a regular corre- 
spondence with the Archbishop of Canterbury and with the 
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts,

and it is to these letters,* in the absence of records, that we 
are indebted for many items of information. Under date of 
April 10, 1762, he writes from New York to Archbishop 
Seeker, a prelate who had the welfare of the church in the 
Colonies much at heart, " I hear they are about building a 
church in Hartford, the chief town in Connecticut, and hope 
to have a considerable congregation there and several people 
of note ; where, if a mission were opened, it might include 
the care of vSimsbury, fifteen miles off." A parish had been 
organized in Simsbury about twenty years previously. None 
of the missions in the Colony were self-supporting. 

Measures were taken to raise money for the purchase of a 
piece of ground and for building, and on the 6th of October, 
1762, Charles Caldwell, in consideration of p^8o, lawful 
money, paid him by John Keith, William Tiley, William 
Jepson, Hezekiah Marsh, and Thomas Burr, a committee of 
the brethren of the Episcopal church in the town of Hart- 
ford, deeded to them, their associates and successors forever, 
a piece of land ninety-nine feet three inches in width on 
Main street and the same in the rear, and to extend west- 
wardly so far as to make exactly half an acre. This purchase 
covered the spot occupied by the old church on the north 
side of Church street, which street was not opened until 
about 1794, and comprehended the northeast corner of the 
lot on which the present Christ Church stands. The lots on 
Main street were not originally laid out at right angles with 
the street. 

We are not able to give the names of all the brethren 
who associated together for building the church, but some 
account of their representative men may be acceptable : 

Capt. John Keith was a native of Scotland. He had been 
master of one of the transport vessels which carried the 
troops of the Colony to the West Indies in the year 1740. 
He had been one of the selectmen in 1754-5. He was now 
a merchant, living and keeping his shop in the wooden

of New York, others in Hawks and Perry's Documentary History of the 
P. E. Church in Connecticut.

building-, still standing, Nos. 176, 178 State street. He had 
married, November 5, 1751, the widow Marianne Lawrence, ^ 
daughter of John Beauchamp and mother of John Lawrence, 
Treasurer of Connecticut from 1769 to 1789. His brother, 
William Keith, also a merchant here, had previously married 
her daughter,* and they were great-grandparents on the 
maternal side of the late Governor Thomas H. Seymour. 
Another brother, Alexander Keith, was an Episcopal clergy- 
man in South Carolina, and is mentioned in Dr. Dalcho's 
History of the Church in that State. f Capt. John Keith 
died suddenly, February i, 1775, aged 73, and his remains 
were carried to Middletown, and deposited in the tomb of 
Capt. Philip Mortimer, with whom he had been associated in 
business. His widow died January 12, 1784, aged 88. In 
his will, dated July 12, 177 1, he directed that in case his 
adopted son, William Keith, should die under age or before 
himself, what he had therein given him should be turned 
into money and with it a suitable piece of ground purchased 
to be and remain a glebe for the use and benefit of the Epis- 
copal church in Middletown, as a memorial of himself for 
ever. Descendants of this William Keith are believed to 
live in Middletown or Cromwell. 

William Tiley kept a shop near that of Capt. Keith, and 
he also had been master of a sloop, which he sold, and then 
kept the tavern formerly Ebenezer Williamson's, where 
he provided the election dinner in 1741. He was buried 
March i, 1781, at the age of 69, and his widow, Sarah, Octo- 
ber 13, 1798. He left one son, James, a goldsmith, who 
died at Norfolk, Va., and a daughter, Sarah, born May 27, 
1746, who married William Adams, Esq. Descendants in 
the female line still belong to the church in this city. 

William Jepson was educated in Boston as an apothecary, 



* After the death of William Keith, his widow married, May 27, 1751, 
Rev. Jonathan Marsh, the first Congregational minister of New Hartford. 
By request, Mr. Marsh preached a sermon before the Episcopal church 
in Barkhamsted, on Christmas day, 1787, which was printed.

Historical Society has a snuff-box which belonged to him.

and instructed in the art or mystery of physic and surgery. 
He settled in Hartford about 1757, soon after he came out of 
his apprenticeship. Here, at the sign of the Unicorn and 
Mortar in Queen street (now Main), in partnership with Dr. 
Sylvester Gardner, who lived in Boston and furnished the 
capital, he carried on the business of apothecary and grocer,* 
— that is, he kept tea, sugar, and spices, as apothecaries then 
generally did. He married, December 2, 1756, Susanna, 
daughter of Daniel Collyer. She died January i, 1772, aged 
32. His second wife, Anna, survived him, and became the 
wife of George Loomis, November 20, 1788, and died 
February 14, 1831. Dr. Jepson was one of the founders 
of St. John's Masonic Lodge in this city in 1762. About 
1769, he became embarrassed in business, through his lenity 
and good nature, as he alleged, and in 1771 petitioned 
the General Assembly for an act of insolvency, which was 
granted in October, 1772, In April, 1775, he was appointed 
surgeon of the second regiment raised for the defense of 
the Colony. He is said to have been a skillful physician. 
Thacher's Medical Biography incidentally notices him as 
"a prominent professional character of the last century." 
At one time he was afflicted with insanity, and attempted 
suicide. He was buried May 21, 1783, at the age of 50.

March 6, 1727-S, graduated at Harvard College, 1751, which he entered 
from Lebanon, Conn. He was drowned in the Connecticut, June 15, 
1757, with William Harpy of Harvard, Mass. They had gone over the 
river for rose leaves. His widow, whose maiden name was Mary Hyde, 
of Norwich, died in New Haven, December 16, 1766. Lothrop & Smith 
were druggists and booksellers in King street (State street), contempora- 
neous with Gardner & Jepson. They dissolved in 1771, and were 
succeeded by Smith & Coit. Richard Tidmarsh, physician, surgeon, 
midwife, and apothecary, succeeded to Dr. Jepson's shop in Queen 
street, August, 1774, but it was occupied by Thomas Hilldrup, in 1776, as 
a watchmaker. Hezekiah Merrill advertises drugs, etc., at the sign of

same sign the next year.

children. After her death, which took place June i6, 1770, 
he married Elizabeth, widow of Levi Jones, killed by the 
fatal explosion at the schoolhouse, May 23, 1766. She died 
October 24, 1788, and he took for his third wife, Hannah, 
widow of Samuel Tiley. Capt. Marsh died April 18, 1790, 
aged 71. Descendants reside in the town. 

Thomas Burr was the grandfather of Alfred E. and Frank 
L. Burr of the Hartford Tbnes. He died October 27, 1777, 
in his fiftieth year, and his widow, whose maiden name was 
Sarah King, died October 5, 1799, aged 73. Some of his 
descendants still worship with us. 

Writing from New York to Dr. Burton, secretary of the 
Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, under date of 
December i, 1762, — after stating that the clergy in Connec- 
ticut had earnestly recommended Mr. Viets to be assistant 
to Mr. Gibbs at Simsbury, that his qualifications were good, 
and that above one hundred and thirty families appeared to 
be very zealous to have him their minister, — Dr. Johnson 
added: " I had thought that Hartford and Simsbury might 
be joined in one mission, but I find it will not do, for 
Mr. Viets would have his hands full in the care of three 
distinct districts ; and besides, the church has so increased 
at Hartford, not by means of any parties or contentions but 
by the still voice of reason and benevolence, that they are 
like to have a flourishing church, consisting of a number of 
good families — many by accession — and have founded and 
are zealously carrying on a considerably large and decent 
church, and think they shall undoubtedly raise ^100 per 
annum procl. money for a minister. However, it being the 
metropolitical town of the province, they cannot well do with- 
out ;!^5o sterling at least, if it could be obtained, in order to 
support him in a manner suitable to such a station. They 
are extremely desirous and purpose in a few months earnestly 
to apply to the Society for Mr. Winslow of Stratford to be 
their minister, who is indeed by much the most suitable 
person they could have ; and his condition is such, having a 
large, expensive, and growing family, that he cannot tolerably 



ANNALS OF THE PARISH. 39 

subsist at Stratford, though they do their utmost for him ; so 
that it seems indispensably necessary that he should, if pos- 
sible, otherwhere be better provided for." 

Dr. Johnson, desirous of relinquishing the care of the col- 
lege and of spending the evening of his days with the people 
of his former charge, to whom he was much attached, had so 
written to the archbishop, who replied March 30, 1763, " We 
have heard nothing directly from Hartford yet. Whenever 
a fit opportunity offers we shall be very desirous of doing 
whatever may be agreeable to you." But before that reply 
was written, the death of his wife had already caused the 
doctor at once to send in his resignation of the office of 
president, and to return to Stratford. 

A letter from Mr. Winslow to the secretary of the Society 
for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, dated 
July I, 1763, says: "Dr. Johnson has communicated to me 
what you are pleased to mention to him respecting the appli- 
cation which was understood to be made to the Society from 
the people of Hartford, and the proposal of my obtaining 
liberty to remove there and his being reinstated here. The 
worthy doctor, whose residence here affords me singular 
comfort as well as benefit, seems of late to decline the 
thoughts of undertaking this or any other stated charge as 
too troublesome to his years ; and as to myself, I wholly 
acquiesce in the Society's pleasure. I have no cause for 
any uneasiness here but for the insufficiency of my support, 
which would make it needful for me to embrace an oppor- 
tunity of being nearer my friends, under some better circum- 
stances for the benefit of my family. As you are pleased in 
so kind a manner to ask me to be explicit on this head, I 
would acquaint you that, beside the Venerable Society's 
bounty, I receive £,2>° sterling per annum from this congre- 
gation, arising from an assessment on the ratable estates, 
made by virtue of a law of the Colony, which obliges the 
professors of the church to pay their proportion of this assess- 
ment to the minister under whose care they are. We are 
also provided here with a decent house and two acres of 
land adjoining, and about as much more at a little distance. 



40 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

These articles make the whole advantage of this living, 
which, I believe, may at the extent be estimated at ^loo 
sterling value. But this I find too unequal to the unavoid- 
able charge of a family of ten children and the expense of 
absolute necessities to support the reputation of the church 
and of my office in a place of so much resort as this ; though 
I endeavor at as thrifty a management of my income as pos- 
sible. And were it not for the dependence I have and the 
assistance I receive from my friends in Boston, I could not 
live without much difficulty or with proper decency. It 
appeared probable I might be under some better advantages 
at Hartford, and I was in hopes from the general desires of 
the people there joined, to the opinion and advice of my 
brethren of the clergy and other friends for my removal, that 
if my life has hitherto in any degree been useful to the pur- 
poses of my office, I might not be less so there ; and it would 
have brought me sixty miles nearer Boston. But I cheerfully 
resign myself to the conduct of God's good providence, and 
fully rest in the Society's wisdom, persuaded they are the 
best judges what measures are most expedient for the general 
interests of the church, and being far from desiring any sta- 
tion or charge merely for my own comfort without a view of 
being instrumental in promoting the interest of religion and 
the church, and willing, for sake of this duty, to submit to 
the inconveniences which may be my lot. It cannot but 
much engage all our wishes to see a church established in a 
place of so much consequence as Hartford. The persons 
concerned in the undertaking there propose carrying on the 
building as they are able, though this will be but slowly. 
They are obliged for your mentioning to Dr. Johnson the 
Society's intention to recommend it to Mr. Viets, if placed 
at Simsbury, to take some care of them, but would, with 
submission, rather wish that, instead of this, they might be 
annexed to Middletown when that mission is again supplied; 
as the nearness of these two towns, their continual inter- 
course and united commercial interests would make it much 
more convenient, and of greater advantage to their design of 
collecting themselves into a congregation, which they hope 



ANNALS OF THE PARISH. 41 

the Society, in the measure and manner that seem meet to 
their wisdom, will be pleased to favor with their patronage." 

Mr. Winslow was transferred to the vacant mission at 
Braintree, Mass., toward the close of the year.* Archbishop 
Seeker wrote to Dr. Johnson, " It grieves me to concur in 
postponing any of the new missions which you would have 
us establish. But, indeed, some of those which we have 
established already in New England and New York have so 
few members of our church in them, and there are so great 
numbers in other parts destitute of all instruction, whom we 
may hope to secure to our church by sending missionaries to 
them before other teachers get among them, I mean the new 
and frontier settlements, that I think we cannot avoid pre- 
ferring the latter. Would God we could effectually assist 
both." To this the doctor replied, August 10, 1763, "I am 
sensible of your difficulty in making new missions, and for 
the reasons your grace gives, which I have often used to 
repress the forwardness of people to expect. And this, 
among other things, has abated the forwardness of Hartford, 
who have of late gone on but heavily. They are, however, 
building, and I hope will in time be a flourishing church." 
December 20, 1763, he wrote again to the archbishop, "It 
would be well Hartford (who desire it, and is but 12 miles 
off) should be joined with Middletown under the care of 
Mr. Jarvis lately gone for orders." "As to Hartford," he 
wrote to the Society, " the clergy think to take turns there 
once a month, so that they may not be quite* discouraged." 

The records of the Rev. Roger Viets of Simsbury show 
various services performed by him here between 1764 and 
1775. The first baptism mentioned is that of William, son 
of Timothy Phelps, January 16, 1764; the first marriage, that 
of Julius Jones to Elizabeth Dickinson, both of Hartford, 
December i6th, in the same year; the first administration of 
the Lord's Supper, March 2, 1766, in the court house, to six 
communicants; the first funeral with the full services of the

church, that of William Gardner, June 9, 1766, one of the 
victims of the terrible explosion which occurred at the school- 
house while preparations were making to celebrate the repeal 
of the Stamp Act. The Rev. Samuel Peters, the Society's 
missionary at Hebron, reports, May 31, 1764, that he preaches 
at Hartford, Coventry, Mansfield, and Bolton, as often as he 
could consistently with his other avocations. The Rev. Mr., 
afterwards Bishop, Jarvis, of Middletown, also from time to 
time officiated here. 

The French war, like other long wars, was naturally fol- 
lowed by a period of financial depression. Land had been 
bought and stone foundations for a church had been laid, but 
it was found inpracticable to raise money to erect the super- 
structure. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in 
Foreign Parts had declined making any more missions in 
New England, and the churchmen here were not able to 
support a clergyman without assistance. Dr. Mayhew and 
others had vehemently attacked the conduct of the Society 
in encouraging the growth of the Church of England in these 
parts, and succeeded in stirring up much bitterness. Political 
disputes with the mother country arose. Men's mnnds were 
exasperated by the claims put forth by the British Parliament, 
and there were civil commotions in parts of the Colony. 
The Episcopal clergy counselled obedience to the law and 
loyalty to the crown, and exerted themselves to discourage 
rebellion: but by those without her pale the progress of the 
church was viewed with a jealous eye as dangerous to the 
civil and ecclesiastical liberties of the country. 

Under these circumstances John Keith and William Tiley 
on the 12th of July, 1765, executed to William Jepson a quit- 
claim of the land which had been purchased for the church. 
Dr. Jepson had advanced some part of the purchase-money 
and seems to have believed himself at liberty to dispose of 
what he had assisted to acquire; for, on the i6th of July, 1768, 
in consideration of ^100, he undertook to transfer by deed 
of warranty to Robert Sanford the land with the stone lying 
thereon. On the 19th of January, 1769, Sanford executed a 
bill of sale of the stone lying on the church lot to Samuel 



ANNALS OF THE PARISH. 43 

Talcott, Jr., in consideration of the sum of ^^26. On the 
8th of October in the same year, for _£i6, Sanford sold to 
Samuel Talcott, Jr., the northern part of the lot, containing- 
sixteen rods or one-fifth of the land. On or about the 23d 
of April, 1770, Talcott entered upon the land, broke up the 
foundations of the church and carried away the stones, which 
were used for the foundation of a house which he was then 
building. Thereupon Thomas Burr, one of the members of 
the Episcopal church in the town of Hartford, and the rest 
of the members and brethren of said Episcopal church, 
brought an action of trespass against Talcott before the 
adjourned county court on the third Tuesday of June, 1770, 
laying their damages at ^500. The Rev. Messrs. Peters and 
Viets, among others, were witnesses in the case, which was 
decided adversely to the plaintiiTs: but on appeal to the 
superior court they recovered, at the adjourned session on 
the last Tuesday of December, 1771, the sum of ^35 L. M., 
damages, and their costs taxed at ;^ii 5 6 L. M. Immedi- 
ately after this, Thomas Burr, etc., entered suits in the county 
court held on the fourth Tuesday of January, 1772, against 
Robert Sanford and Samuel Talcott, Jr., to recover seizin 
of the land, and upon an appeal to the superior court held on 
the fourth Tuesday of December, 1772, obtained a decision 
restoring the land to the church with nominal damages and 
costs.* 

A letter from the Rev. Ebenezer Dibblee, the Society's 
missionary at Stamford, to the secretary of th'e Society, dated 
October 8, 1770, says: "At the earnest request of the 
church-wardens, etc., at Hartford, eighty miles distance, I 
preached there on Trinity Sunday last to a numerous con- 



* Compare the account given by Peters in the General History of Con- 
necticut: In 1760, a foundation of quarry stones was laid for an Episcopal 
church in this town, at the Expense of near ^300, on which occasion the 
Episcopalians had a mortifying proof that the present inhabitants inherit 
the spirit of their ancestors. Samuel Talcott, Esq., one of the judges of 
the county court, with the assistance of a mob, took away the stones, and 
with them built a house for his son. What added to so meritorious an 
action was, its being justified by the General Assembly and the Consocia- 
tion.

gregation (whose attention and behavior was good; the 
principal part being dissenters,) and baptized. They have 
applied for advice and assistance, being involved in a conten- 
tious law-suit in defence of the rights of their church, an 
encroachment having been made on a piece of land lately 
bought and sequestered to build a church upon and a beauti- 
ful foundation of hewn stone laid in place of the one removed. 
It appeared to us in Convention to be a wicked design of a 
powerful family, so to demolish the church there that it might 
never rise; and as we judged the claimant had no right, in 
law or equity ; and as such conduct, as we were told, was 
disapproved by many of the dissenters, we could not but 
approve of the professors of the church seeking a redress of 
such a sacrilegious alienation. In the meantime, to support 
their efforts, the Rev. Mr. Leaming preached there Sunday 
after convention, and the clergy in general engaged to take 
their turns; but we particularly recommended them to the 
care of the Rev. Mr. Peters." 

From the year 1766 to 1775, inclusive, there was held an- 
nually a convention of delegates from the Presbyterian Synod 
of New York and Philadelphia and from the Congregational 
Associations of Connecticut. The main object of these 
conventions was the preservation of the liberties of their 
churches, threatened, as they thought, by the attempts made 
by the friends of Episcopacy in the Colonies and in Great 
Britain for the establishment of bishops in America. To 
prevent their establishment the convention entered into a 
correspondence with the Committee of Dissenters in England, 
and made arrangements for ascertaining the proportion of 
Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians in the Colonies, as well 
as for collecting the charters, laws, and customs of the same 
so far as they respected religious liberty. The Rev. Dr. 
Elizur Goodrich of Durham made a report in which he esti- 
mated that in the year 1774, out of a population of 4,881 
whites in Hartford, there were but in Episcopalians. 

During the war of the Revolution it is doubtful whether 
any services of the church were held in Hartford, nor do we 
know that any parish organization was kept up. Mr. Peters,

the Society's missionary at Hebron, by his imprudence ren- 
dered himself so obnoxious to the Sons of Liberty that he 
was obliged to flee, and he took refuge in England, where he 
revenged himself by writing a book which he called a General 
History of Connecticut. 

Mr. Viets of Simsbury, for secreting and aiding Major 
Christopher French* and Ensign Joseph Moland, prisoners 
of war who had escaped from Hartford jail, was arrested and 
imprisoned, bail being refused. In January, 1777, he was 
brought to trial and sentenced to pay a fine of ^20 and suf- 
fer a whole year's further imprisonment; but upon his 
petition to the General Assembly in May following, he was 
released from the jail and restricted to the town of Simsbury 
during the remainder of his sentence, and put under bonds 
of ^1,000. After the peace he removed to Digby, Nova 
Scotia, where he died in iSii.f 

At Middletown, " Mr. Jarvis only read some chapters in 
the bible and preached a sermon in his own clothes, not 
daring to read the church service." Soon after the Declara- 
tion of Independence the clergy of Connecticut, at a conven- 
tion held at New Haven July 23, 1776, resolved to suspend 
the exercise of their ministerial functions. They could not, 
consistently with their views of duty and the obligations of 
the oath of allegiance which they had taken, omit from the 
liturgy the prayers for the King, and to use them was to 
invite almost certain destruction.

fin 1800 he visited his old friends in Connecticut, where in the towns 
of Simsbury, Granby, Windsor, and Hartford, between June 19th and 
July 14th, he baptized 105 children and adults. Mr. Viets was born in 
Simsbury, son of John and Lois [Phelps] Viets, and uncle of Bishop 
Alexander Viets Griswold, whose baptism he records May 25, 1766. He 
was graduated at Yale College in 175S, and is said to have been a man of 
refined taste and a good scholar. The writer's maternal grandfather was 
fitted for college by him.

any ministration here by him.* 

After the superior court had declared the conveyance from 
Jepson to Sanford to be invalid, the latter made application 
to the General Assembly as a court of chancery, which, as he 
states, decided that Jepson had an equitable lien upon the land 
for the sum of about ^60 lawful money, which ought to 
inure to the benefit of the said Sanford and to be paid to 
him by the professors of the church of England, in order to 
their being fully quieted in the enjoyment and possession of 
the land. Samuel Talcott, Jr., on the 2d of January, 1778, 
had reconveyed to Robert Sanford that portion of the lot 
which he had bought of him, and having received the ;^6o, 
Robert Sanford, on the 15th of January, 1785, released by 
deed his claim upon the land to William Adams, Esq., Messrs. 
John Morgan and John Thomas, and to the rest of the asso- 
ciates and professors of the Episcopal church in the town of 
Hartford, and to their successors forever. 

Of those who had associated in 1762, some had died and 

others removed ; but the number was more than made good 

by those who had come from other places to reside here. A 

new parochial organization was effected the next year, as

William Adams, son of William and Freelove [Arnold] 
Adams, was born in Milford, August 18, 1742. He studied 
law with Dr. Wm. Samuel Johnson and removed to Hartford, 
where Mr. Viets enters him as a conformist, Dec. 31, 1764. 
He married, Feb. 22, 1767, Sarah, daughter of William Tiley. 
He was a cousin of Benedict Arnold, and in the Revolution 
served as paymaster or as lieutenant from Jan. i, 1777, to 
Jan. I, 1781, in the 4th Connecticut regiment. He was the 
first city clerk of Hartford, chosen June 28, 1784, and con- 
tinued in office till his death, June 24, 1795. His widow died 
Feb. 25, 1818, aged 72. He had one son, who died an infant, 
and six daughters, one of whom, Abigail, born Sept. 5, 1772, 
baptized by Mr. Jarvis, married Horace Wadsworth ; another, 
Sarah, born April 6, 1785, baptized in the old court-house, 
died a few years since a member of the parish. 

William Imlay, son of John and Elizabeth Imlay, was born 
at Bordentown, N. J., Nov. 12, 1742. He had been in busi- 
ness as a merchant in New York city, and upon its evacuation 
by the Americans, September, 1776, "left with the rest of his 
friends, upon the principle of an attachment to his country." 
Upon the resignation of John Lawrence, he received, in 
November, 1780, from the General Assembly, the appoint- 
ment of Commissioner of the Continental Loan Office, and 
on the organization of the federal government was made 
Commissioner of Loans, holding that office at the time of his 
death, August 5, 1807. Jonathan Bull was his successor.

daughter of Robert Nevins. Three of his sons, William H., 
John, and Richard, were baptized by Mr. Jarvis at Middle-

town. The former is remembered as one of the wealthiest and 
most enterprising of our citizens. John died at the age of 
25, the next month after the death of his father. Richard 
lived in Philadelphia and New York. He invented a valuable 
improvement in railroad carriages, but died poor. 

John Morgan, son of Theophilus, born at Killingworth 
June 27, 1753, was graduated at Yale College in 1774. He 
came here as early as 1781, and was a public-spirited mer- 
chant, connected with almost every undertaking for the pros- 
perity of our city in its infancy. The bridge across the 
Connecticut was projected by him, and on the street leading 
to it, opened by him and called by his name, he built what 
was in its day the finest block of stores in the place. His 
residence at the upper end of the same street was one of the 
handsomest here. He was warden until 1820, and to his 
zealous labors and liberal contributions the parish was indebted 
for its temporal prosperity more than to those of any other 
individual. He married Sally,* daughter of Capt. Samuel 
and Sarah [Stillman] Lancelot, of Wethersfield, and had but 
one child, a daughter, who married Thomas Glover of New 
York. Mr. Morgan's last days were spent in New York in 
straitened pecuniary circumstances, and he died in that city 
Sept. 19, 1842. His wife died June 21, 1840, aged 76. His 
half-brother Elias, baptized at Killingworth by Mr. Viets 
20th October, 1771, was also a member of this parish. f He 



*A cousin of Mrs. Morgan deserves to be commemorated. Mrs. 
Emily Phillips, daughter of Samuel and Meliscent [Riley] Stillman, was 
born July 14, 1779. She was married Oct. 2, 1S04, by Rev. Mr. Rayner, 
to George T. Phillips, who died in New Orleans about 1808. She was a 
devoted disciple of the church, and about 181 5 exchanged some letters 
with Judge Daggett of New Haven on the Episcopal controversy which 
were circulated in manuscript and won for her the title of Defender of the 
Faith. She died at Middletown, April 15, 1843, leaving to the parish a 
legacy, with which was purchased the paten used in the communion ser- 
vice, and to Trinity College most of what little she possessed. She was 
buried in the tomb of the Rileys in her native town. Capt. Riley, of 
African fame, was a relative of hers.

built the house now occupied by George M. Bartholomew, on 
Prospect street. 

John Thomas was the father of the late James Thomas, 
Comptroller of Public Accounts from 181 9 to 1830. Upon 
some disgust he left the church. He was buried Sept. 4, 
1799, aged 66. 

Jacob Ogden was born at Newark, N. J., Nov. 10, 1749. 
His grandfather and father, both bearing the name of David, 
were lawyers in that place. David, the father of Jacob, 
married his cousin Catharine, daughter of Col. Josiah Ogden, 
a prominent citizen of Newark who had become an Episco- 
palian about 1734, on account of dissatisfaction with some 
proceedings of the Presbyterian church against him.* Hav- 
ing lost his father when about a year old, he was brought up 
in the Episcopal church by his mother. He married, in 1772, 
Jerusha, daughter of Joseph Rockwell of Colebrook. He had v 
gone there as clerk for one Smith, an Englishman, who had 
iron-works there. At the beginning of the Revolution Smith 
returned to England and Ogden took the works, which were 
accidently burned August 30, 1781, soon after which he 
removed to Hartford. Here he was a merchant of enterprise. 
He built the long wooden block on the south side of Ferry 
street, and for his residence the building on State street 
formerly known as the Exchange Hotel — burned a few years 
ago. He lost considerable money in connection with the 
building of the State House, and removed to Washington

lic house. In 1804 he opened in New Haven a hotel, for 
twenty years celebrated as the Coffee House. Mr. Ogden 
was a very active and social man, witty and quick at repartee. 
He died March 30, 1825, his wife having preceded him some 
thirteen years. He left several children. One son was a 
Congregational minister.

at Edenton, N. C, but was obliged to leave that place on 
account of the prejudices of the people against an establish- 
ment which he had opened for inoculating with the small- 
pox. He removed to Hartford, and here married Jennette, 
daughter of Capt. James Caldwell, by whom he had two sons 
and three daughters.* One of these daughters was the wife 
of Rt. Rev. Carlton Chase, Bishop of New Hampshire. 
About 1790 he removed to Vermont. The Episcopal church 
in Bellows Falls owes its foundation to him. He died in 
November, 182 1, 

Thomas Hilldrup was a watch repairer, bred to the finish- 
ing branch in London. He settled here about 1772. He 
was married to Susanna Hull of Wethersfield, January 30, 
1777, by Mr. Jarvis, at Middletown, and had a son (Thomas J.) 
baptized by the same, September 27th of that year. He was 
appointed postmaster of Hartford as early as 1777,! ^''^^ held 
the office till the close of 1794. He was buried September 
21, 1795, aged 55, and his widow, November 4, 1796, aged 
44.J 

John Jeffery came from Rhinebeck, N. Y. He married, 
October 28, 1766, Sarah Nichols. He at one time kept a 
private school for teaching reading, writing, and arithmetic, 
and wrote in the Treasury or Pay-Table office in Hartford. 
He was father of the late Anthony Jeffery. John Jeffery 
died November 10, 1801, aged 59, and his widow, December, 
1809, aged 62. 

George and William Burr were sons of Thomas. The 
former was married by Mr. Jarvis at Middletown, March 19, 
1775, to Sarah Joyce of that place. Both left children.

came from New York about the beginning- of the year 1786, 
and returned to the same State about 1795." 

Cotton Murray came here from New Hampshire. He 
advertises as a tailor in the Coura?it, Jan., 1774, and after- 
wards kept a tavern at the sign of the Globe,f just north of 
the church — perhaps the present St. John's Hotel. His 
house was the usual place for parish meetings. Cotton 
Murray died October 21, 1813, and his wife at the age of 55, 
August 15, 1798. His daughter kept a school here for forty- 
five years. 

Isaac Tucker was one of the associates in 1762. He was 
a blacksmith, and served as an armorer in the French war. 
I suppose he came from Taunton, Mass. He had only two 
sons, Isaac and James. Both fell "in battle nobly contend- 
ing in the cause of their country, — Isaac being shot dead in 
an instant by a cannon ball at the White Plains in A.D. 1776. 
James was shot through the body in the action of Sept. 19, 
1777." Isaac Tucker was buried October 17, 1799, aged 82. 
His wife was buried September i, 1776, aged 54. 

Elisha Wadsworth was the father of that Elisha Wads- 
worth who kept a tavern at the corner of Albany avenue and 
Prospect Hill road, and grandfather of Sidney Wadsworth, 
who now lives in the same place. He died June, 1803, and 
his widow, Annie, died February, 18 15, aged 83.

He entered the revolutionary army in 1776 as an ensign, served as cap- 
tain in the Connecticut line, 1777-9, and soon after removed to Tin- 
mouth, Vt. In that State he held various public offices, among others, 
that of treasurer, from 1786 to iSoo. His youngest son, John, became 
governor of Vermont. Samuel Mattocks died at Middlebury, Vt. , about 
1804, aged 65,

Aaron Bradley came from Guilford about 1772. He was 
a blacksmith, and afterwards kept a tavern in Ferry street, 
then a more important avenue than at present. He died 
September 15, 1802, aged 61. His wife, whose maiden name 
was Sarah Chittenden, of Guilford, died January 21, 1819. 
Several of his descendants in female lines are connected with 
the parish. 

At an adjourned society or parish meeting held at Mr. Cot- 
ton Murray's, November 20, 1786, it was voted that a commit- 
tee be appointed and chosen for the purpose of getting a sub- 
scription paper and procuring signers to the same, either in 
money, labor, or any specific articles, payable to them for the 
purpose of building an Episcopal church in this city. 

The original subscription paper, dated November 28, 
1786, is on file among the parish papers, headed with a sub- 
scription by John Morgan for jQz^, Jacob Ogden ^24, John 
Thomas ;^2o. 10s., Samuel Cutler ^10, all payable in 
materials for building. Money was extremely scarce at this 
time, and trade was carried on to a great extent by barter. 
Most of the subscriptions were payable in materials for 
building, labor, or West India goods. As specimens of some 
of them: Major John Cadwell subscribed ;^io in pure spirit, 
John Chenevard one hogshead of molasses, no gallons, 
Barnabas Dean ^10 in materials for building or in rum, 
Noah Webster, Jr., £^t,, which he paid in seven dozen spell- 
ing-books. There was quite a number of subscribers who were 
not Episcopalians, and the whole amount raised was a little 
more than jQz^o. 

In March, 1792, John Morgan and Jacob Ogden agreed 
with Ebenezer Clark, joiner, to inclose the church in every 
particular that belongs to joiner's work, except the window 
frames and sashes, and to set the glass ; all to be done in a 
workmanlike manner, he being found the materials. He 
was to finish the work by the 24th of November then next, 
for which he was to receive the sum of ^90, and to take his

pay in West India goods, so far as the subscriptions were 
payable in said goods, and the rest in cash, and what joiner's 
work was subscribed towards the church he was to allow for. 

There was no formal laying of a corner-stone, but there is 
a tradition that when sundry were gathered to see the com- 
mencement of the work. Prince Brewster, the mason, a mem- 
ber of the parish, said, " I lay this stone for the foundation of 
an Episcopal church, and Sam Talcott and the gates of hell 
shall not prevail against it."* 

The frame was raised in June, 1792, and there is on file a 
bill for nine gallons of rum, which was probably expended on 
that occasion. The size of the building was ninety feet in 
length by forty-four in breadth. The steeple fell while the 
work was in progress. 

The church was still uncompleted in 1795, and to finish it, 
in June of that year there was another subscription, amount- 
ing to $575. A great part of the original lot was sold about 
this time and the proceeds applied to the same purpose. 

The regular records of the parish commence in 1795, but 
for several years they are quite meagre. 

At an adjourned parish meeting held July 10, 1795, it was 
voted that the society will allow Mr. Calvin Whiting, for his 
services for six months as a candidate for the ministry, fifty 
pounds lawful money and his board. The time to commence 
from the first of June, 1795. 

Mr. Whiting was the posthumous son of Jonathan Whit- 
ing, born at Needham, Mass., March 4, 1771", and graduated 
at Harvard College in 1791. After leaving college he taught 
school at Roxbury, Mass., for a year and a half, when he 
became a student in divinity. In Hartford, besides reading 
prayers and sermons in the church, he kept a small school 
for boys in a chamber of the building next south of this 
church, taken down in the summer of 1875. '^he names of 
his fifteen pupils are found on a paper among the parish 
files. In September he was seized with the dysentery, then 
epidemic here, and after languishing for six weeks, expired

acceptable preacher.^

time the number of clergy in the diocese was considerably 
less than that of the parishes. March 4, 1797, Mr. John 
Morgan and Mr. William Imlay were appointed a committee 
to make in behalf of this church an offer to the Rev. Ashbel 
Baldwin of Stratford of a salary of five hundred dollars 
per annum as minister of the parish. Mr. Baldwin declined 
the call, regarding the salary as insufficient to support his 
family. The wardens and vestry were authorized, Dec. 14, 
1799, to hire a clergyman to officiate for such time, not ex- 
ceeding three months at any time, until a suitable person 
should be found whom the church could agree to settle. 
The vestry were desired, Jan. 28, 1801, to appoint a commit- 
tee to write or send to the Rev. Ammi Rogers of Ballstown, 
N. Y., to see whether he would officiate here; but the parish 
was happily spared the disgrace of having that unworthy 
person for its first rector. On the 12th of July, 1801, it was 
voted that the Rev. Menzies Rayner of Elizabethtown, N. J., 
be requested to take charge of the church, at a salary of six 
hundred dollars a year, to commence from the 20th of August 
then next — an invitation which was accepted; and thus, 
after struggling for nearly forty years, the parish became 
completely organized. 

When the church was first opened for divine service the 
records do not inform us, but it was probably some time in 
1795. Before it was ready for occupation services were held 
in the old wooden State-house. It was consecrated on the 
nth of November, 1801 — a very rainy day.. The Coura?it of 
the 1 6th gives the following account of the exercises: "On

the occasion from the 2 Chronicles, vii chap., from the 12th

inclemency of the day. The music was well performed, with

for the clergy, for which his bill was ^4 13.?.

were less than a dozen brick buildings in Hartford. It had 
a steeple adorned with four urns and surmounted with a 
spire. It contained on the ground floor eight square pews 
on the north and south sides, respectively, and twenty-six

pare an Office for inducting and recognizing Clergymen into vacant 
Parishes." He complied, and the office was adopted by the bishop and

the first occasion of its use thereafter, but it had been used in Newtown

slips. One of these pews had a canop}' over it, and was 
called the Governor's pew.* There was a like dignified pew 
in the First Congregational Church, for the legislature sat 
here in May, annually, and as facilities for traveling were 
not so great as at present, most of the members remained 
in Hartford during the whole time of the session. How- 
ever, there was no Episcopal Governor or Deputy Governor 
to occupy this pew until 181 6, when Jonathan Ingersoll 
was elected to the latter office. There were galleries sup- 
ported by square Ionic pillars. The windows were round 
arched. There was but one doorway, which was in the 
centre of the steeple, and this was ornamented with some 
carved work. 

The organ was the first in Hartford, and for several years 
the only one in this part of the State. It was built by 
George Catlin, at his shop lately standing near the first 
milestone on the Windsor road. It was but a small affair, 
not more than five or six feet wide. On the front was a 
large spread eagle, through the shield on whose breast the 
pipes appeared. The vestry agreed to pay Mr. Catlin two 
dollars a week for the use of the organ, on condition that he 
provided an organist to play on the same to their acceptance 
on each whole Sunday and on public days. Mr. Ely Roberts 
was also hired to instruct a singing-school. 

Parish officers were chosen in October, 1801, and there 
seems to have been no renewing of the choice until Easter 
Monday, 1803. William Wellerf was present as a lay dele- 
gate at the diocesan convention in 1802, but there is no 
entry of any appointment on the parish records. With the 
foregoing exception, the parish was unrepresented by a lay- 
man until the convention held in Hartford in June, 181 2, 
although delegates were appointed in 1803, 1808, and 1809. 

The usual mode of supporting ecclesiastical societies was 
by taxation; but as it was thought unadvisable to resort to

this if it could be avoided, the sittings were rented, and as 
the receipts from this source did not pay the j^early expense, 
a contribution was taken up on every Sunday and other days 
when services were held. The treasurer's book shows the 
amounts received on each occasion from October, 1801, to 
March, 1818, when the practice was discontinued. At Mr. 
Rayner's desire, the collections were intermitted in 1805, 

1806, 1807, and 1808. The sums gathered were but small. 
On the 4th of October, 1801, the amount was $5.15; on the 
nth, $4.14; on the i8th, $4.39, and on the 25th, $4.63; on the 
second Sunday in March, 1818, $3.22; on the third, $2.38; and 
the whole received during the year 181 7-18 was $121.15. To 
meet deficits subscriptions were made in 1802, 1807, and 1808. 
The first parish tax was laid in 1809, to raise the sum of 
$400. These subscriptions and the tax lists are entered in 
full on the records, and enable us to learn who composed the 
parish at the respective dates. 

In 1807* an endowment fund was begun; for the support 
of the church depended upon a very few individuals, most of 
the parishioners being blessed with but little wealth. Four 
hundred and forty-five dollars were raised by Mr. Morgan in 
New York city, to which was added the proceeds of a small 
piece of land sold, and other donations, bringing the sum up 
to eight hundred dollars. This was invested in stock of the 
Hartford Bank in pursuance of a vote passed December 7, 

1807, which provided "that no part of the principal or inter- 
est . . . be applied to any purposes of ' this parish, save 
only to establish a Fund: And whenever the principal and 
interest accumulating therefrom shall amount, with any other 
sums given or subscribed thereto, to a capital the annual

proceedings in strictness of law were invalid in consequence of the time 
for the annual meeting not having been fixed by vote, upon the petition 
of John Morgan in behalf of the parish the General Assembly, in Octo- 
ber, 1807, authorized a meeting to be held to confirm the doings of former 
meetings; which meeting was held December 7th, and it was then voted 
that Easter Monday thereafter, annually, should be the day for holding 
a parish meeting for the choice of officers, etc.

income of which shall be Five hundred dollars, then the 
interest accruing may be applied to the support of a clergy- 
man in this parish, a parish school, or such other purposes 
for the support of this episcopal parish as the wardens and 
vestry may think proper. The wardens and clerk were 
appointed a committee to take care of the fund. In i8io, 
the parish adopted a constitution for the future management 
of the fund, in which the vote of 1807 was declared irrevo- 
cable, and very careful provisions were made for its safe- 
keeping and administration according to the intent of its 
institution. It was provided that "the Bishop shall in all 
cases have, and is hereby invested with a power over the 
doings of the parish in relation to this fund, which doings 
shall not be valid excepting they have the Bishop's concur- 
rence and approbation." 

The General Assembly in May, 1829, incorporated the 
wardens and vestry by the name of the Trustees of the Epis- 
copal Church Fund, authorizing them to hold property to an 
amount not exceeding $10,000. 

The fund had been carefully and well managed by Charles 
Sigourney, a man of excellent judgment and the most scru- 
pulous accuracy and integrity, and in 1830 consisted of 
eighty-five shares of stock in the Phoenix Bank, of which 
the par value was $8,500. Pursuant to a vote of the vestry, 
February 27th, of that year, the money was withdrawn from 
the bank and invested in scrip issued by the parish for the 
purpose of building the present church edifice. This step 
was vainly opposed by Mr. Sigourney, who foresaw, what the 
event proved, that the fund would vanish. When the scrip 
became due, in 1837, a parish meeting, held April loth, 
authorized the wardens and vestry to continue the loan for a 
further term, not exceeding ten years, and to cause new scrip 
to issue. The rents of the pews were pledged as security for 
the payment of the interest, subject, however, to a prior lien 
for the payment of the interest on $20,000 borrowed of cer- 
tain individuals. At a vestry meeting, October 2, 1847, 
Cyprian Nichols was appointed to investigate the condition 
of the "old church fund," and at the next meeting he was

appointed a committee to receive the scrip belong-ing to it, 
then in the hands of Samuel H, Huntington. It seems that 
Mr. Nichols did not get it; for September 14, 1850, Zepha- 
niah Preston was authorized to receive the scrip from Mr. 
Huntington and deposit it in the Phoenix Bank for safe keep- 
ing, where it is now supposed to be; and this is the latest 
entry concerning the Episcopal Church Fund to be found on 
our records. 

In 1809, the rector of this parish was constituted a mem- 
ber of the Hartford Library Company, and his successors 
continue to enjoy the privileges of the Hartford Library, into 
which, by the name of the Hartford Young Men's Institute, 
the Hartford Library Company was merged in 1839, after an 
existence of about sixty-five years. 

Mr. Rayner resigned the rectorship October 14, 181 1, and 
took charge of St. Paul's Church, Huntington, in Fairfield 
county, where he remained for about sixteen years. There 
had been dissatisfaction with him on the part of some mem- 
bers of the parish, who thought that he lacked that dignity 
and propriety of conduct which become a clergyman. It 
seems also that some did not then regard his teachings as 
quite orthodox. 

Mr. Rayner was born in South Hempstead, L. I., Nov. 23, 
1770. He did not receive a collegiate education, but at the 
age of twenty was ordained a Methodist preacher by Bishop 
Asbury, at Lynn, Mass. Having conformed to the church, he 
was ordained in New York by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Provoost, 
and was settled over the parish of St. Johns, Elizabethtown, 
N. J., for about six years before he was called to Hartford. He 
was an active man in the diocese, an able controversialist, and 
in many respects a good pastor. He preached the convention 
sermons in 1805 and 1815. Several of his sermons preached 
while rector here were printed.* In 1807, to assist in sup-

porting himself, he taught the north district school. In 1827 
he resigned the ministry of the Episcopal church, and Sep- 
tember 25th of that year was called to the Universalist church 
in this city, where he remained until August, 1831, after 
which he was settled in Portland, Me. In a letter to Rev. 
Hosea Ballou, dated Hartford, Feb. 5, 1828, after stating that 
he had been for some time persuaded of the truth of the 
Universalist doctrine and for several years had taught nothing 
contrary thereto, he says : " In whatever light my principles 
and proceedings may be viewed by my brethren of the Epis- 
copal church, I shall still cherish for them sentiments of 
respect and Christian charity, and especially the uniform 
candor and kindness with which I have been treated by the 
excellent Bishop of this diocese merit the acknowledgment 
of my gratitude and esteem."* 

Mr. Rayner died in New York, November 22, 1850. 

In his report to the convention in 181 2, he gave the follow- 
ing statistics of this parish : Families about 80, 12 or 14 of 
which live in Windsor and East Windsor. f Baptisms in 
1802, 17; 1803, 20; 1804, 17; 1805, 15; 1806, 20; 1807, 12;

While he was Universalist minister at Hartford, he printed on a half

verses addressed to the wardens and vestry during his rectorship, asking 
for payment of arrears of his salary.

shall still humbly claim to be considered as a member of the church, 
entitled to all its common privileges." 

f Rev. Ezra Stiles reckons that in 1762 there were perhaps five or six 
families of Episcopalians in Windsor. 



62 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The Rev, Philander Chase had recently returned to the 
North from New Orleans, where he was the first settled 
Protestant clergyman, and fixing his residence at Cheshire 
had placed his sons at the Episcopal Academy there. He 
began to preach in Hartford on Sunday, October 27, 181 1. 
On the loth of December in that year, the parish voted 
unanimously that the vestry should make proposals to him 
to take charge of the parish as their minister, at a salary of 
eight hundred dollars a year. Mr. Chase accepted the office, 
with the stipulation that after two years his salary should be 
one thousand dollars per annum. He was instituted June 23, 
181 2. The sermon on the occasion was by the Rev. Henry 
Whitlock of New Haven, on i Tim. iii, 15, 16, and was 
printed. On the same day the first ordination here- to the 
diaconate was held — that of the Rev. Birdsey G. Noble, 
soon after settled at Middletown — and on the next, the first 
diocesan convention which ever met in this city. 

The church had no bell. When Hartford was settled the 
immigrants brought with them from Newtown, now Cam- 
bridge, a bell which I suppose was the first in New England. 
The Second or South Ecclesiastical Society had a bell by 
the will of William Stanley, who died in December, 1786. 
■ There was a third bell on the grammar school. These were 
all which were then in Hartford. In the parish accounts 
is an entry of twenty-five cents paid, in 1802, to Mr. Burkett, 
sexton of the North, now Centre, Church, for ringing the 
bell on Christmas and New Year's Day. . When the old 
meeting-house of the first society was taken down in Decem- 
ber, 1805, the bell and clock which had been in its steeple 
were removed, until their new edifice should be completed, 
to the steeple of Christ Church. The clock was the only 
public one in the city.* To defray the expense of this 



* A clock, to strike the hour by day and by night, was procured by pub- 
lic subscription in 1752. I have been told that the date was painted on 
the dial. Within my remembrance the old works were in the steeple of 
the Centre church, and perhaps they are still there. 

It is claimed that Guilford had the first public clock in the colony, 
as well as the first steeple, about 1726. 



ANNALS OF THE PARISH. 63 

removal and of some necessary alterations in the steeple, a 
subscription was made among the inhabitants of the north- 
ern part of the city. Papers on file show that the money 
was raised in very small sums. In the latter part of the year 
181 1, steps were taken toward procuring a bell. After some 
negotiations with the committee of the Fir.st Ecclesiastical 
Society, which was willing to dispose of its old bell and pro- 
cure one of larger size, one was cast for the parish by Ward 
& Bartholomew,* which weighed seven hundred pounds and 
costs fifty cents a pound. Sundry persons not members 
of the parish subscribed towards it. After the tower of this 
church was completed, nearly forty years ago, this bell, not 
being thought heavy enough, was sold for $193 to the church 
in Hitchcocksville. 

A new organ was procured in 181 2, built by Catlin & 
Bacon in this city, at a cost of $500, as by contract ; but 
some additions were made, which brought the price up to 
$511.52. For the old instrument $150 was allowed, and the 
remainder was raised by subscription. The organ was con- 
siderably enlarged in 181 7. 

A parish library was begun in 181 2. Messrs. T. & J. 
Swords of New York, well-known church booksellers, sent 
on consignment a number of Bibles, prayer-books, and other 
religious books particularly illustrative of the ordinances and 
doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal Church. A parish 



* Church bells were cast in Hartford at least as early as 1787, by Jesse 
Goodyear and Enos Doolittle. Goodyear, in an advertisement, says that 
he had cast bells weighing 2,400 pounds. Doolittle and his son cast 
many bells for Ward & Bartholomew, and continued in the business 
until about 1841. 

Ward & Bartholomew were goldsmiths and coppersmiths. The silver 
bowl formerly used for baptismal purposes (which disappeared in 1879), 
was presented by Mr. Bartholomxew, as was also the arm-chair formerly 
used for the bishop's chair. He died in April, 1830, and was the first per- 
son buried from the new church. 

Until within a few years it was the custom to ring Christ Church bell 
at noon, and the bells of the Centre and South at nine o'clock in the 
evening. 

When, in 1816 and 1867, the funerals of Rev. Dr. Strong and his suc- 
cessor. Rev. Dr. Hawes, passed Christ Church, the bell was tolled. 



64 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

meeting, March 30, 181 2, authorized the vestry to receive 
these with others thereafter to be consigned, to keep them 
in some suitable place and use their influence to promote 
their sale ; * and it was voted that the commission allowed 
should be invested in books suitable for a parish library, of 
which the rector, wardens, and vestry were appointed man- 
agers and directors, and they were also requested to solicit 
donations for the library. Thomas Glover, son-in-law of 
John Morgan, was the first librarian, and was succeeded by 
Seth Whiting at Easter, 18 13, and by William DeWitt in 
1815, when it was ordered that the library should be opened 
every Saturday afternoon. The arrangement with the 
Messrs. Swords continued some six years. Papers and 
accounts on file show what books were sent and sold. A 
list of donors and donations to the parish library in 1818 is 
inserted at length in the parish records. Rules and regula- 
tions for the use of the library were adopted in 1820, which 
the rector was requested to read from the desk. In 1832-3, 
a subscription was made for the benefit of the library, since 
which time but few books have been added to it — the estab- 
lishment of the college and other public libraries in this city, 
and the greater ease with which church books can now be 
procured, having in some measure superseded the necessity 
for a parish library. 

Chimneys were built and the church first warmed in the 
winter of 1815-16. Stoves were also introduced into the 
Center Church the same winter. 

Bishop Chase's Reminiscences afford but few incidents of 
his life in this city. He says, " I returned to the Northern 
States, and in the fall of 181 1 was, with uncommon felicity 
to myself, fixed as rector of Christ Church, Hartford, Con- 
necticut. My residence in this city continued till 181 7. 
During this period the number of the faithful greatly 
increased ; the attendants at the Lord's Table, from a very 



* Rev. Mr. Rayner kept church books on sale, as appears by an 
advertisement of his in August, 1808, 



ANNALS OF THE PARISH. 65 

few, became a great number. I rejoiced to see the blessed 
effects of the gospel of peace and the many examples of a 
faithful and holy life. In the bosom of an enlightened 
society, softened by the hand of urbanity and gentleness, my 
enjoyments, crowned with abundance of temporal blessings, 
were as numerous and refined as fall to the lot of man. Of 
the time I spent in this lovely city I can never speak in 
ordinary terms. It is to my remembrance as a dream of 
more than terrestrial delight. Of its sweets I tasted for 
awhile and thought myself happy." * 

There is an anecdote told in Samuel G. Goodrich's (Peter 
Parley) Recollections, \ that Mr, Chase declined to pray before 
the Hartford Convention in 18 14-15, on the ground that he 
knew no form of pra)^er for rebellion ; but this cannot be 
authentic, whatever his political sympathies may have been, 
for the journals of that body show that he did open several 
sessions with prayer. 

Bishop Jarvis died May 3, 1813. Several unsuccessful 
efforts were made to fill the Episcopate. Some of the friends 
of Mr. Chase desired his election. In 18 16, the convention 
requested Bishop Hobart of New York to take charge of 
this diocese, an invitation which he accepted in October of 
that year. On the 12th of February, 181 7, Mr. Chase 
addressed a letter to the wardens and vestry, requesting 
them to join with him in procuring a canonical dissolution of 
his connection with the parish. Diocesan and not parochial 
relations, he said, induced him to take this step. To the 
Standing Committee of the diocese he wrote, " The reasons 
which have led me to this determination are not founded on 
any disagreement with the people of whom I have had the 
parochial charge. On the contrary, I take this opportunity 
to testify my entire satisfaction with them as a parish and

ment of the year, to the young people of Christ Church, Hartford, and

my gratitude for the many kindnesses I have received from 
them as individuals. My reasons for leaving them are 
couched in this one sentence : I am persuaded that I can be 
more useful to the church of Christ and more happy in my 
own person elsewhere than in the diocese of Connecticut." 
He preached his farewell sermon March 2, 181 7. 

After a brief period of lay-reading, the name of Jonathan 
M. Wainwright, instructor of rhetoric in Harvard College, at 
which institution he was graduated in 181 2, was suggested. 
He preached his first sermon here April 20, 181 7, having 
been, on the Sunday before, at Providence, admitted to the 
diaconate by Bishop Griswold. At a vestry-meeting, May 28, 
181 7, the wardens (John Morgan and Michael Olcott) and 
Mr. Sigourney were appointed a committee to wait on Rev. 
Mr. Wainwright, to converse with him respecting his disposi- 
tion to settle in this parish, and make report to the next 
vestry-meeting. He was ordained priest in Hartford, on 
Saturday, August 16, 181 7, by Bishop Hobart, who on the 
next day confirmed twenty-two, but he was not regularly 
settled by the parish until October 18, 181 7, when his salary 
was fixed at $1,000 a year. He was instituted or inducted 
rector by Bishop Hobart on Friday, May 29, i8r8. 

The new rector was an accomplished gentleman, of a 
genial disposition and winning manners, and was quite 
popular with the young men of the city.* 



* " About this period — that is, in 1819 — " says S. G. Goodrich in his 
Recollections of a Lifetime, " I was one of a Hterary club, of which J. M. 
Wainwright, Isaac Toucey, WilHam L. Stone, Jonathan Law, S. H. 
Huntington, and others were members. ... I published three or 
four numbers of a small work entitled 'The Round Table,* the articles 
of which were written by different members of the club." 

This publication, with others to which it gave rise, are all now 
extremely rare. They were:

Sunday-schools were established in 18 18. A society was 
formed, called the Hartford Sunday-School Society,* the 
object of which was stated to be "to communicate religious 
instruction to those who shall attend its schools, and to teach 
the rudiments of learning so far as may be necessary for the 
attainment of religious knowledge." 

At a meeting of the board of managers. May 12, 181 8, the 
committee appointed for the organization and management 
of the schools, consisting of the Rev. Messrs. Wainwright, 
Hawes, and Cushman, and Messrs. S. Terry and J. R. Wood- 
bridge, reported the following, which was accepted : 

"That all the subjects for instruction in the Sunday- 
school be collected at the North Conference Room on 
Sunday, the 24th of May instant, at 4 o'clock, p.m. 

" That they then be divided into four different schools, 
and be numbered. That they meet at the following places : 
No. I, at the North Conference Room. No. 2, at the Epis- 
copal Church. No. 3, at the Baptist Meeting House, and 
No. 4, at the South Chapel. 

" That they meet on the morning of each sabbath at nine 
o'clock, and in the afternoon at half-past one o'clock, and 
that the exercises of each day be commenced with prayer. 

" That there be one superintendent to each school, whose 
duty it shall be, to admit all the scholars and register their 
names and ages, to class them, to govern the school and 
keep order, to assign to the teachers their tasks, and gen-

to the board monthly.

James M. Goodwin was appointed superintendent of the

visitors.

Miss Maria Nichols, Mr. Zephaniah Preston, 

Miss Betsey Canfield, Mr. Charles Brainard, 

Miss Esther M. Bull,* Mr. George Beach, 

Miss Sally Adams, Mr. Joseph Wheeler, 

Miss Cornelia Warner, Mr. Hezekiah Seymour, 

Mr. James A. Canfield. 

The schools were commenced in April and closed in Octo- 
ber of each year. After about three years it was thought 
best that the labors of the Society should cease, and that 
each parish should manage its own schools. Mr. Goodwin 
remained superintendent for the first four years, and Mr. 
Allen C. Morgan the fifth year. 

The whole number of scholars registered in this school 
was 141 in 1818; boys 66, girls 75. In 1819, boys 61, girls 81, 
total 142; new scholars 38. In 1820, boys 44, girls 75, total 
119 ; new scholars 8. In 182 1, boys 79, girls 102, total 181 ; 
new scholars 102. In 1822, boys 82, girls 74, total 156 ; new 
scholars 42. 

The year 181 7 saw a political revolution in Connecticut, 
and the way was prepared for the adoption of the Constitu- 
tion, by which the ancient ecclesiastical establishment of the 
State was overthrown and all denominations were placed on

an equal footing. The annual Election Sermon, which had 
always been preached by a minister of the standing- order, 
was delivered in 1818 by an Episcopalian — Harry Croswell, 
of New Haven — before the General Assembly, in the Centre 
Church in this city.* 

The Rev. Thomas C. Brownell was elected Bishop of the 
Diocese of Connecticut by the Convention held in New 
Haven, June 2 and 3, 181 9. At a vestry-meeting held 
June 20th, the rector stated some of the advantages which 
would result to the parish in having their bishop located 
here; and, that so desirable an event might be secured, he 
proposed that the wardens and vestry should consider and 
determine what they could do in a pecuniary way to effect it. 
He stated that the Bishop's Fund, as it then stood, would 
not yield over eleven or twelve hundred dollars a year, and 
proposed, with the approbation of the vestry, relinquishing 
in favor of the bishop $400 of his salary, and proposed to 
remunerate himself by his services in the academy which 
he contemplated establishing,! or from occasional services in 
the neighboring parishes. He expected, in case both these 
failed, that the vestry would pledge themselves to make good 
the deficiency. The rector was authorized to offer to the 
bishop-elect, through the committee appointed by the con- 
vention, a sum equal to the deficiency of the bishop's fund to 
pay $1,500, for four years, which sum should not exceed 
$400 a year, on condition of his residing in this place. 
Dr. Brownell accepted the Episcopate June* 24th ; in Sep- 
tember the vestry appointed a committee to facilitate the 
removal of his furniture from New York to this city, and his 
consecration took place at New Haven, October 27, 1819. 

On the 9th of December, 181 9, Mr. Wainwright communi- 



* Bishop Brownell preached the Election Sermon in 1822, and Mr. 
Wheaton in 182S. These were all the Episcopal preachers. The custom 
of having an election sermon was discontinued in 1830. 

f The legislature, at the May session, 1819, incorporated The Hartford 
Academy. The corporators were John T. Peters, John Morgan, Samuel 
Tudor, Jr., Charles Sigourney, William H. Imlay, Roswell Bartholomew, 
Jeremy Hoadley, Jonathan M. Wainwright, Isaac Perkins, Griffin Sted- 
man — all members of this parish. 



70 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

cated to the wardens and vestry that he had been invited to 
become an assistant minister of Trinity Church, New York — 
the position lately occupied by Bishop Brownell — and had 
concluded to request the parish to unite with him in procur- 
ing from the bishop a canonical dissolution of their connec- 
tion. The parish acquiesced in the request of their rector 
and, in the event of the expected dissolution, authorized the 
wardens and vestry to request the Rt. Rev. Bishop of the 
Diocese to accept the rectorship. 

Bishop Brownell accepted the charge, December i8, 1819, 
on condition that a suitable assistant rector should forthwith 
be appointed, and that he would himself perform the public 
services and preach one-fourth part of the time at Hartford, 
and one other fourth part in an out-parish to be connected 
with this, and that he should receive for these services from 
the parish of Hartford $500 per annum, but that, on account 
of his frequent absences, other ministerial duties must devolve 
upon the assistant rector. This was agreed to by the parish, 
January 5, 1820, and the Rev. Nathaniel S. Wheaton was 
invited to become assistant rector, with a salary of $900.* 

An agreement was entered into to supply the parish of 
St. John's, Warehouse Point,f with public services and 
preaching one-half of the time, to wit, with the services of 
Bishop Brownell, rector of Christ Church, one-quarter of the 
time, and with the services of the assistant rector one-quarter 
of the time. Four gentlemen of St. John's guaranteed the 
payment of $400 to the treasurer of the parish at Hartford 
as compensation therefor. 

About this time the custom of having a clerk, to lead the 
congregation in their responses, to give out the metrical 
psalms and hymns, and to read pviblic notices, was discon- 
tinued. The clerk was accustomed to sit in a little box on 
one side of the desk. 

Bishop Brownell tendered his resignation of the rectorship 



* He came March 4, 1S20.

ner in 1 801-4.

ANNALS OF THE PARISH. 71 

in a letter to the wardens and vestry, November 11, 1820, 
" The establishment of the General Theological Seminary " 
at New Haven, he wrote, " has called upon me, by the duty 
which I owe to the church at large, to be near it during its 
infant state, that I inay be the better able to render it such 
support and assistance as may not be incompatible with my 
paramount duties to the diocese. . . . As, however, the 
arrangement made with the parish of East Windsor does not 
expire till February next, I shall continue my services to 
both congregations as heretofore (either personally or by a 
substitute) until that time, unless some other more satisfac- 
tory arrangement should be made." The treasurer's book 
shows that his salary was paid to the last day of December, 
1820. 

At the annual parish meeting, Easter Monday, April 23, 
182 1, the Rev. Nathaniel S. Wheaton was unanimously 
invited to accept the rectorship, with a salary of $1,000. 
He signified his assent on the 5th of June following. 

Mr. Wheaton was a native of New Preston in Litchfield 
county. He had been admitted to the diaconate and priest- 
hood by Bishop Kemp of Maryland, in which State he had 
been engaged in teaching after his graduation at Yale Col- 
lege in 1814. 

The parish was now in a prosperous condition. Already 
in 181 9 slips had been substituted for four of the pews ; but 
now further accommodations were needed, 'which were ob- 
tained in 1822, by removing a partition at the entrance of 
the church, reducing the width of the slips, and bringing 
those in the nave together — thus making two alleys instead 
of three — and changing the remaining pews to slips. These 
alterations gave seventy-six slips on the ground floor.* In 
the same year the young men of the parish subscribed $100 
toward purchasing lamps for the church. 



* Plans showing the annual leases of sittings in the church are on file, 
having been preserved with few exceptions from the beginning to the 
present time. 



72 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The charter of Washington, now Trinity, College was 
granted by the General Assembly in May, 1823. Episco- 
palians had long desired an institution of higher education 
under their control, for Yale College was not then conducted 
with liberality. Theophilus Yale, for whom the college had 
been named, was a churchman, and Bishop Berkeley had been 
one of its greatest benefactors, yet the son of the rector of 
Trinity in New Haven could not attend his father's church 
save on communion Sundays. Repeated efforts had been 
made to obtain the powers of a college for the Episcopal 
Academy at Cheshire (established in 1796, and incorporated 
1 801), but without success. At a parish meeting, March 30, 
1813, Charles Sigourney, vSamuel Tudor, Jr., and Thomas 
Glover were appointed to confer, advise, or correspond with 
any other committee or body of persons interested, on the 
subject of an application which is to be made this spring 
to the legislature for liberty to establish an Episcopal College 
in this State — an object which this parish greatly desires to 
see effected. Vacancy in the Episcopate and, afterwards, 
the establishment of the General Theological Seminary, 
which for a brief period was located at New Haven, caused a 
suspension of efforts for the establishment of a college. 

The location of the new institution was not fixed by the 
charter, but left to be competed for by the larger towns, 
although the general expectation had been that it would be 
settled at Hartford. It was finally established here by the 
trustees, at a meeting held at New Haven, May 6, 1824, 
when upon a ballot it appeared that there were nine votes 
for Hartford, five for Middletown, and two for New Haven. 

The trustees had requested Mr. Wheaton to go as an 
agent to Great Britain, to solicit the donation of books and 
philosophical instruments, and the parish, August 26, 1823, 
signified its consent. He sailed from New York in Septem- 
ber, 1823, and returned in November, 1824.* To supply his

1827-9. They were afterwards pubUshed in a volume by H. & F. J.

tion, says: " We have in our possession a copy of the Rev. N. S. Whea-

place, the parish invited the Rev. Edward Rutledge of South 
Carolina, who had been educated in Connecticut and was 
the first whom Bishop Brownell admitted to the diaconate. 
Mr. Rutledge was unable to come, and the Rev. Henry M. 
Mason was employed. 

But, besides what he accomplished for the college, there 
was another result from Mr. Wheaton's mission abroad. 
He had an opportunity of seeing some of the principal 
churches in England and improving his architectural taste; 
for there were then but few buildings in the United States 
worthy of study, and probably the best specimens of Gothic 
were Trinity Church in New Haven, built in 181 5, and St. 
Stephen's in Philadelphia, consecrated 1823. 

On the 4th of April, 1825, the parish appointed the vestry 
a committee to obtain the refusal of an eligible site for a 
new church. Upon the report of this committee, a parish 
meeting appointed another committee to report the ways 
and means within the power of the parish to purchase a 
building lot and erect a church thereon, together with the 
probable expense of the lot and building. The subject was 
debated at an adjourned meeting October loth, and again 
on the 24th of that month, when the expediency of proceed- 
ing to the erection of a new church as soon as practicable 
being put to vote, there were thirteen in the affirmative and 
seven in the negative; but as the statute law required a vote 
of two-thirds to build, the motion was declared lost. 

A year was nearly completed before the'subject is again 
alluded to on the records, though we may well believe it 
was not absent from the thoughts of the rector, for the 
church was filled to its utmost capacity. At a vestry-meet- 
ing, October 17, 1826, the Rev. Mr. Wheaton and Messrs.

is a masterpiece of typography. The color is wonderfully uniform, con- 
sidering it was put on the type with balls, and yet it does not appear that 
the book in question was regarded at the time of printing as anything 
more than an ordinary piece of work." — Bibliographical Guide to 
American Literature, iSjg, page c*.

James M. Goodwin and Samuel Tudor were appointed a 
committee to procure some proper plan or plans of a church, 
to be submitted to a future meeting-. This committee em- 
ployed Ithiel Towne of New Haven, and reported to a 
parish meeting, March 20, 1827. The parish voted to pro- 
cure a site and build, provided the expense should not ex- 
ceed $28,000. A committee of nine were appointed to pur- 
chase, according- as they should deem most for the interest 
of the parish, either one of six locations agreed upon.* Ar- 
rangements were also made for the issue of stock to supply 
funds. The committee bought for $8,500 the lot between 
Temple, Market, and Kingsley streets, now occupied by the 
old city hall. 

It seems strange to us of the present day that the site 
purchased should have been thought a desirable one for the 
church, or, afterwards, for the city hall; but in 1827 the 
population of our city was more homogeneous than now, and 
lay east of Trumbull street almost entirely. 

The site which had been bought did not give general sat- 
isfaction to the parish, and after several meetings in which 
the subject was considered, the present location was decided 
upon, April 16, 1827, by a vote of exactly two-thirds. This 
vote was confirmed on the 30th by a larger majority, the 
plans submitted by Mr. Towne were adopted, Messrs. William 
H. Imlay, Samuel Tudor, and James Ward were appointed a

2. A lot on the west side of Main street, owned in front by Caleb 
Goodwin and Leonard Bacon, $13,500. Where is now Roberts's block, a 
few doors south of the church. 

3. A lot on the west side of Trumbull street, owned by Norman 
Smith, $8,000. This was opposite the foot of Pratt street. 

4. A lot owned by Spencer and Oilman, $8,500. The lot on Market 
street, which the committee bought. 

5. A lot owned by Ward & Bartholomew, on the west side of 
Trumbull street, $12,000. The southwest corner of Asylum and Trum- 
bull streets.

ordered to be sold. 

Ground was broken in the summer of 1827, and the work 
of building- was already considerably advanced when, on 
Tuesday, May 13, 1828, the corner-stone was laid* with 
appropriate ceremonies by Bishop Brownell. Mr. Wheaton 
delivered an address on the occasion.f The roof was on be- 
fore the next winter, and the church was consecrated on Wed- 
nesday, December 23, 1829, by Bishop Hobart, acting in be- 
half of Bishop Brownell, then absent on a southwestern 
tour.J A procession was formed from the old church to the 
new, consisting of the vestry, the wardens, the clergy, and 
the bishop. Prayers were read by the Rev. Prof. Hector 
Humphreys, and the lessons by the Rev. Prof. Horatio 
Potter (late Bishop of New York). The Instrument of Dona- 
tion was read by the Rev. N. S. Wheaton, Rector of the 
parish, and the Sentence of Consecration by the Rev. Wil- 
liain Jarvis, Rector of Trinity Church, Chatham, The ser- 
mon was preached by Bishop Hobart. His text was Gen. 
xxviii, 16, " Surely the Lord is in this place. "§

coins for the current year, a bottle containing a piece of parchment with 
this inscription:

The work of building was brought to a close without any 
painful incident. While in progress there were frequent 
comments on its solidity and massiveness. It was superin- 
tended by Mr. James Chamberlain, a member of the parish, 
and a builder at least equal to an}^ who has ever lived in our 
city.* In March, 1830, the parish presented him with $100 
and a piece of plate worth $50, with a suitable inscription, 
"not so much," the record says, "for its value, as a grateful 
acknowledgment for the unwearied and judicious applica- 
tion of his talent as an architect and builder, and for his skill- 
ful and successful superintendence of the new church to its 
(thus far) completion." Mr. Wheaton gave his attention to 
every detail, and we are indebted not only to his fine taste 
but to the skill of his hands, for he fashioned some of the 
models for the stucco ornaments, and some of the stone 
faces on the east end of the church were cut by him. Mr. 
Wheaton also presented a transparency, which formerly cov- 
ered the chancel window. It was a representation of the 
Ascension, after Raphael, and painted by W. Bacon, of Lon- 
don, f 

The stained glass in the heads of two western windows 
was made in Boston, and is one of the earliest specimens of 
the art in this country. The cost was $62.50. 

The land on which the old church stood was sold to 
Oliver D. Cooke, and the building to the Romanists. The 
spire was taken down and the building removed to Talcott 
street. It was reconsecrated by Bishop Fenwick in 1831, by 
the name of Trinity Church, and was wholly consumed by 
fire. May 11, 1853. 



*Afew years afterwards Mr. Chamberlain became deeply involved 
through erecting a house for a gentleman in this city. Imprisonment for 
debt had not then been abolished, and to avoid arrest he fled to Michigan. 
Some of his friends subscribed and bought a two-horse wagon, in which 
his wife and children went to him. He died not long after. 

f This picture, having been accidentally torn, was some years since 
given back to Dr. Wheaton, and replaced by a window of stained- glass. 
It was accidentally ruined in transportation to Marbledale.

Having thus traced the progress of the church from its 
humble beginnings until it had become one of the leading 
parishes of the diocese, and having brought down these 
annals to the event of which we to-day celebrate the fiftieth 
anniversary, the limit which I had assigned to myself is 
reached, and here shall be an end. 



REPORT OF A COMMITTEE 



Concerning t^t Jxtnbe 



OF THE 



Parish of Christ Church 



HARTFORD 



1894 



At a meeting of the Wardens and Vestry of Christ 
Church, Hartford, held May 2, 1893, it was 

" Voted, That a committee of four members of the Vestry be 
appointed, with power to employ a competent person to index the 
Parish Minutes, to extract all the votes of importance, and to make 
an abstract of the trust funds of the Parish from the records. 

"Dr. G. W. Russell, W. L. Matson, J. M. Taylor, and H. H. 
Hollister were appointed such committee." 

H. H. Hollister, Clerk. 



REPORT. 



To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church : 

In accordance with the above vote, your committee have 
undertaken the request to ascertain the Funds which belong- 
to the Parish, and the present condition of the same. It has 
been a task greater than was expected when the resolution 
appointing us was passed; but it has been completed with 
faithfulness, as we believe. It is certainly proper that we 
should have a full knowledge of all that our honored prede- 
cessors have done in their interest for the welfare of this 
Parish. The struggle which the Church had in this town, 
and its history down to 1828, was graphically told by Mr. 
Charles J. Hoadly in 1879, at the celebration of the fiftieth 
anniversary of the consecration of the Church. 

As none of the early members of the Parish and but few 
of their descendants are now living, and not many of the 
present members are familiar with what has been done in 
the past, we have thought it proper to enter with some 
minuteness into the consideration of the Funds which have 
been constituted, and which now exist in this Parish. 

The first of which we find mention in thfe records of the 
Parish is called, 

The Episcopal Church Fund. 

Mr, John Morgan had secured from his friends in New 
York city, in aid of the Parish, four hundred and forty-five 
dollars, and this, with the proceeds of a small piece of land, 
sold to Dr. Joseph Lynde, was the foundation of the above 
Fund. It has been said that the subscriptions in New York 
were made conditionally that the money should not be used 
for present purposes, but that a fund should be established. 
This seems very probable, for we find that very soon the 
6 



82 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Parish took action in the matter, and did establish this Fund 
and guard it with extraordinary provisions and care. It was 
increased by the income from the original sum and by some 
subscriptions, and by the very careful nursing of Mr. Charles 
Sigourney, until in 1830 it amounted to eighty-five hundred 
dollars. It was then invested in Church Scrip, issued to pay 
for the debt incurred in erecting the Church, and was not 
many years afterwards lost to view, as Mr. Sigourney and 
many members of the Parish had predicted. 

To us, at this day, it seems a singular proceeding, and not 
quite consistent with the idea of a Fund, which should be 
held as a distinct and separate sum of money, set aside, 
as this was, for specific purposes, to be accounted for an- 
nually, and to be known of all men as a Fund by its generic 
name, and so to be continued, upon its conditions, into 
perpetuity. 

We are far from saying that a dishonest use was made of 
this Episcopal Church Fund. The gentlemen who were 
engaged in the change of its investment were among the 
oldest and most honored members of the Parish. It would 
be presumptuous in us to say that their proceedings were 
not strictly legal ; that had been secured by proper enact- 
ment, and the necessities of the Parish seemed to be their 
warrant for its use in the payment of its debts. They had 
builded beyond their immediate ability to pay, as so many 
other religious societies have done, and will probably con- 
tinue to do, that they ventured upon an experiment, which 
may have been legal, but is not to be commended. If the 
example should be generally followed, it would probably dis- 
courage many gifts for the establishment of specific funds, 
gifts made for a certain object and with the expectation of a 
long continuance. 

It may be said in justification that this Fund is not lost; 
that it still remains in the Church building, and that the pew 
rents are pledged for the payment of the annual interest. 
But, then, who knows anything about this Fund ? What 
wardens and vestry keep any account of this Fund ? What 
treasurer has, for many years, made any mention of it in his 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 83 

report? It is as a thing- of naug-ht, as if it never had an 
existence ; it has, as was predicted, become so completely 
absorbed that it is now almost forgotten. It may be the 
fate of other Funds belong-ing to this Parish if we do not 
manage and nse them according to the intent of the donors ; 
and this subject is dwelt on now for the purpose of impress- 
ing upon all who, in any way, are connected with this Parish, 
the duty of becoming acquainted with its history and of 
faithfully maintaining its interests. 

To make this history complete and note the very begin- 
ning of this Fund, we include in our report the following 
plea, which was made to friends in New York in 1807 for aid 
to the Parish by Mr. John Morgan, and the action thereon. 
He was a very prominent merchant here, was one of the 
wardens of the Parish, and had many friends in that city. 
He was liberal in his support of the Parish, independent 
in character, and prosecuted with vigor whatever he under- 
took. Some few of us remember him as he appeared in the 
latter days of his life, when, in straitened circumstances, 
he filled the office of inspector of wood for the city. As seen 
upon the streets, tall and thin, supported by a long, gold- 
headed cane, he was sure to attract attention by his vener- 
able appearance, dignified, courteous, and sometimes brusque 
manner. Authority became him well, and, when irritated, 
he never failed to assert it. He had that sense of what was 
becoming to law and order, that led him to believe that he 
was a good expounder of both. The misfortunes which 
befell him may have increased some of his peculiarities, and 
possibly added to that positiveness of manner and opinion 
which were characteristic of him. He was a good church- 
man, and Mr. Hoadly well says, " that to his zealous labors 
and liberal contributions, the Parish was indebted for its 
temporal prosperity more than those of any other individual." 
The early records show how much he was interested in every 
movement for the Church in the city. He gave to it not his 
money only, but his time, which was exceedingly valuable to 
him, engaged, as he was, in extensive and diverse mercantile 
pursuits. He was respected to the end of his life for his 



84 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

energy, his uprightness, his devotion to the Church, and the 
independence with which he expressed his opinions. He 
died in New York, Sept. 19, 1842. 

The Parish expressed its appreciation of him when, 
March 20, 1826, the Wardens and Vestry 

" Voted, That S. Tudor and C. Sigourney call on John Morgan, Esq., 
request him to designate where he would prefer to be seated in the 
Church, and that two seats be reserved to him and Mrs. Morgan, where 
he may select." 

This plea for aid shows how much it was then needed for 
the Church in Hartford. Very likely it was written by 
Mr. Morgan, as the writing corresponds with his. It is a 
reminder to us of the earnest requests for assistance in the 
feeble parishes at the West or South, and that our condition 
in 1807 was very like theirs at the present time. It is 
especially interesting as being the foundation of what was 
afterwards termed the " Episcopal Church Fund," the history 
of which we are endeavoring to present. 

In the Records of the Parish, pp. 28, 29, this is found: — 

" Copy of the subscription paper drawn up in the city of New York, 
for the purpose of representing the necessities of the Parish, and obtain- 
ing some relief. 

"The vestry of Christ Church in Hartford, Connecticut, beg leave to 
call the attention of the pious and benevolent to the following statement. 

" By the exertions of a few individuals an Episcopal Church has been 
built in that city. But owing to removals, death, and failure in business, 
the congregation, which was always small, has lost several of its best sup- 
porters, and the whole weight of its expenses now devolves on a very 
few individuals, who contribute annually to the support of the Church 
from fifty to an hundred dollars each. 

" The situation of the Church at present is such that there is serious 
reason to apprehend that unless some assistance can be obtained it will 
entirely fail. 

" Hartford being the metropolis of Connecticut, the establishment 
of the Episcopal Church there is of the utmost importance to the prosper- 
ity of the Church throughout the State. Several new congregations have 
been formed within the vicinity of Hartford principally by the exertions 
of the Clergymen settled there, and upon the permanent establishment 
of the Church in Hartford, the increase, if not the very existence, of those 
congregations depends.

"The Vestry of the Church, therefore, impressed with these 
considerations, have determined, as the last resort, to solicit the aid 
of the pious and benevolent in the City of New York. And they 
pledge themselves that whatever may be contributed shall be faithfully 
applied to relieve the congregation from its present very heavy burthen.

Though this report is lengthened thereby, it is well 
to copy from the records the action taken by the 
Wardens and Vestry, and by the Parish in relation to 
this Fund. 

At a Parish meeting, held December 7, 1807, it was 

" Voted, That John Morgan and Daniel Olcott, Esq'rs, Wardens 
of this Church, be a committee, and have full power and authority 
to convey to Dr. Joseph Lynde, a parcel of land, lying north of 
the Church, and to settle and adjust the boundary line between the 
said Lynde and the Church. 

" Voted, That the money arising from the sale of the land to 
said Lynde, together with the amount of the money subscribed 
for the establishment of a fund for the Church in New York, be 
applied to the purchase of stock in the Hartford Bank, or put at 
loan on good security, and that no part of the principal, or interest 
arising from the same, be applied to any purposes of this Parish, 
save only to establish a Fund. And whenever the principal and 
interest accumulating therefrom shall amount, with any other sums 
given or subscribed thereto, to a capital, the annual income of which 
shall be five hundred dollars, then the interest accruing may be applied 
to the support of a clergyman in this Parish, a Parish school, or such other 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 87 

purposes for the support of Episcopal Parish as the Wardens and Vestry- 
may think proper. 

" Voted, That Mr. John Morgan, Mr. Samuel Tudor, and Charles 
Sigourney, be a committee, to draw up articles proper to establish such 
a Fund, to solicit further subscriptions thereto, and that they report a 
plan to the next or some future Parish Meeting. 

" Voted, That the Wardens and Clerks be a committee to take 
care of the funds, and be, and they are hereby, authorized to place 
them at interest, and to make report of the state of the funds at the meet- 
ing of the Parish next Easter Monday." 

The sum of eight hundred dollars, constituting the 
above Fund, " was paid into Hartford Bank as subscrip- 
tion money for two bank shares." Then follows a 
" Statement to show what may be produced from the 
two bank shares in possession of the Church in 23 years, 
which will be in the year of oitr Lord 1831." 

The committee did not report imtil 18 10. We extract 
further from the records: — - 

" At an adjourned meeting of the Episcopal Parish of Christ Church, 
in the City of Hartford, held at the Church, agreeably to a vote 
of adjournment, on Saturday the 28th, April, 1810, John Morgan, Esq., 
being moderator, the committee appointed to prepare the plan of a 
Constitution for the management and future regulation of the Episco- 
pal Church Fund, reported to the Parish a plan of the same, which 
they recommend to the adoption of the Parish. Whereupon it was 
Voted, That the Constitution, being duly read, be referred to the consid- 
eration of the Parish, and accepted, article by article, one at a time, for 
their consideration and acceptance. 

"Thereupon, the Constitution, of which follows, a copy, was read 
and considered by the Parish, and accepted by them, article by arti- 
cle, in the form which follows, and afterwards accepted altogether and 
ordered to be recorded and sent to the Bishop for his concurrence and 
ratification."

' ' For the future management of the fund of money belonging to the 
Episcopal Parish of Christ Church in the City of Hartford, in the State

"Article ist. The afoi"esaid fund shall be denominated 'The 
Episcopal Church Fund.' It consists at the present time of two .shares, 
of the value of four hundred dollars each, in the Hartford Bank, together 
with the dividends and interest which have accrued since the time of pur- 
chasing, December 8, 1807. 



88 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

" Article 2d. Whereas it was the intention of the original donors of 
this fund that the money they gave should, for many beneficial reasons, 
be put at interest and suffered to accumulate, and whereas, as in conform- 
ity with this intention, the Parish, at their meeting of December 7, 1807, 
did vote, ' That no part of the principal or interest arising from same 
should be applied to any purposes of this Parish, save only to establish a 
fund until the income from same should amount to five hundred dollars,' 
therefore in order more effectually to fulfil the aforesaid intention, the 
Parish now assembled together in legal meeting do hereby re-enact and 
confirm the vote passed as named above, at the meeting of December 7, 
1807, that no part of the principal or interest arising therefrom, of the 
above fund, be applied to any purposes of this Parish, save only to estab- 
lish a fund until the income from the same amount to five hundred dollars 
per annum. It is also ordained that this vote, thus solemnly repeated, 
shall be irrevocable. 

" Article 3d. When this fund shall have increased to a sum, the 
income from which shall amount to five hundred dollars per annum, or 
more, it is ordained that this parish shall not ever thereafter expend 
anything more than the interest, or income arising from this fund, and 
that the principal shall not, under any pretence whatever, ever be ex- 
pended, either wholly or in part. 

" Article 4th. It is further ordained that, in order to secure to the 
Church the irrevocability of the preceding obligations, as well as the up- 
right and praiseworthy use of this income, and to adopt all prudent pre- 
cautions to guard against the injudicious expenditure or misappropriation 
of it, or any part of it, by anj' persons who may hereafter, in the vicissi- 
tude of human affairs, belong to this parish, and be in a situation to 
direct, or misemploy the income of this fund, no appropriation nor expen- 
diture of this income (when it shall have arrived at the contemplated 
amount of five hundred dollars per annum), nor any part thereof, shall 
ever be made without the advice and consent of the Bishop of the diocese, 
for the time being, first asked and obtained. 

"Article 5th. This constitution shall not be valid, nor obligatory 
on the parish, until approved and signed by the Right Reverend the 
Bishop of this diocese ; and when accepted by the parish, and so ap- 
proved and signed by the Bishop, it shall be binding on the parish, who, 
hereby for themselves and their successors, do relinquish all right and 
power to annul it. Neither shall any amendments nor alterations of it 
ever be made without the assent or concurrence of the Bishop, and the 
Bishop shall in all cases have, and hereby is invested with, a power over 
the doings of the parish, in relation to this fund, which doings shall not 
be valid, excepting they have the Bishop's concurrence and approbation. 

Article 6th. Whereas several persons have expressed a desire to 
make an addition by voluntary gifts to this fund, on this condition, viz.:

That all the preceding provisions and obligations be strictly carried into 
effect, and scrupulously observed by the parish, for the time to come, 
and reserving to themselves, their heirs, executors, administrators, or 
assigns, the right to resume their donations together with interest on the 
amount, from the time of giving, whensoever it may appear the parish 
has violated, or not complied with all or any of the preceding provisions 
of this constitution. It is therefore hereb}'- declared that all such dona- 
tions above-named will be thankfully accepted by the parish, and with 
the condition attached to them by their respective givers, which is, that 
the donors, their heirs, executors, administrators, or assigns, shall have 
and possess the right of resuming their gifts, together with interest on 
the amount of their gifts, from the time of giving, whensoever it may ap- 
pear the parish has not complied with all or any of the preceding provis- 
ions, which they have hereby bound themselves to observe.

" Article 8th. And whereas it may be that other persons hereafter 
may feel a liberal desire to make donations to this fund, on the conditions 
aforesaid, and more especially their zealous friends of the Church in our 
large cities in our vicinity, seeing they will now possess a guarantee that 
their bounty will not, and cannot be abused by reason that the Bishop, 
the head of the Church, has the power to prevent it, Therefore the names

not with the obligations it has entered into by the second, third, fourth, 
and Mth articles of this constitution, and to what amount.

this Church, for each one of them, as soon as may be convenient after be- 
ing chosen to office to furnish himself with a copy of this constitution 
from the records, for his government. 

" Article 12th. The Wardens and Vestry are constituted for the 
time to come, the managers of the Episcopal Church Fund. 

" At a meeting of the Episcopal Parish of Christ Church, in the city 
of Hartford, on Saturday, the 28th day of April, 18 10, the foregoing Con- 
stitution was reported to the parish, and after being duly considered, was 
accepted by the parish, and ordered to be sent to the Right Reverend the 
Bishop of this diocese, for his approbation and ratification, in conformity 
with the fifth article of this Constitution. 

Attest Charles Sigourney, Society s Clerk. 

[Seal] Approved. 

[Signed] Abraham, Bp., Connecticut." 

On the 31st Dec, 1810, Mr. Sigourney certifies that the 
above Constitution had l^een duly accepted by the parish, 
and approved by the Bishop. 

There is no evidence to show that Bishop Brownell was 
ever furnished with a copy of this Constitution. Probably 
his consent was asked when the change in the investment 
was made ; Bp. Williams has never received a copy of it, or 
been consulted concerning it, nor was it ever mentioned to 
him by Bishop Brownell, 

In 1816 the investment in the Hartford Bank had increased 
to fifteen shares of four hundred dollars each. On the 26th of 
July of this year the Wardens and Vestry voted to sell eight 
shares of this stock, and " directed that it be invested in the 
stock of the Phoenix Bank in this city, on the best terms it 
can be done for the interest of the Parish," and on the 23d of 
December directed a further sale of the seven shares remain- 
ing to be invested in the Phoenix Bank also, making the sum 
of six thousand dollars " invested under the privilege secured 
to ecclesiastical and other societies, by statute law of this 
State, giving the bank the six months' notice which the 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 9 1 

law requires." The original sum of the Fund, eight hundred 
dollars, by careful management, had thus increased to this 
large amount. The Phoenix Bank, which had been incor- 
porated in 1 8 14, was not infrequently called "the Episcopal 
Bank," and the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church evi- 
dently did nothing to discourage this appellation. 

The following votes of the Wardens and Vestry, February 
18, 1 818, would appear to indicate that a watchful care was 
taken of this Fund, and that there was a willingness to use 
all possible advantages for its increase : 

" Voted, That Michael Olcott, Samuel Tudor, and Charles Sigourney, 
be a committee to sell the stock which this Parish owns in the Phoenix 
Bank. 

" Voted, That the said committee be authorized to reinvest the pro- 
ceeds of said stock, so sold, in said Phoenix Bank, under the privileges 
secured to ecclesiastical, etc., societies by the statutes. 

" Voted, That if the aforesaid stock cannot be sold to advantage, in 
the judgment of the committee, in the course of a few weeks, that the 
committee be authorized to borrow the amount from the Phoenix Bank, 
so as to have the new investment of the stock made the ist of March next, 
and repay the amount so borrowed, from the sales of the stock when sold. " 

The Fund had not, in 181 9, produced the sum necessary to 
warrant the use of the income for parochial purposes, and on 
the 2 1 St of August, the Wardens and Vestry 

" Voted, Charles Sigourney, James M. Goodwin, and George Beach, 
be a committee to examine into the permanent funds of this Parish, and 
to see if any mode can be devised to bring up the capital to the amount 
necessary to produce the sum required to raise five Hundred dollars per 
annum." 

There was no further action taken by the Wardens and 
Vestry relating to this Fund, except to audit the accounts of 
Mr. wSigourney occasionally, until March 13, 1829. Consider- 
able indebtedness had been incurred in building the new 
Church, beyond the ability or willingness of the parishioners 
to pay. The zeal of the rector and the ambition of some of 
the gentlemen of the Parish had given them a building sur- 
passing, it has been said, that in any other city in New Eng- 
land at the time. Though the subscriptions had been liberal, 
there was still due a considerable sum, for which provision 



92 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

had to be made. As a means of securing a part of this sum, 
attention was directed to the " Episcopal Church Fund," 
which now consisted of eighty-five shares of stock in the 
Phoenix Bank. The project was to secure, by legislative en- 
actment, the power to make the Wardens and Vestry trustees 
of this Fund ; then that the bank stock should be sold, the 
proceeds loaned to the Parish, and scrip issued for the same. 
It was thus making a new investment, perhaps secure, per- 
haps legal ; probably legal, for the most prominent men of 
the Parish were in favor of it, and the General Assembly of 
the State gave sanction to it. 

But to us at this day it seems rather queer, and certainly 
it appears as if the original intent of the Fund had been 
diverted, and put to a use not originally contemplated. The 
solemn promises of the Parish and the reiterated declara- 
tion in the Constitution were that it should be kept as a 
Fund, the income from which, when it amounted to five 
hundred dollars, might be ''applied to the support of a 
clergyman in this Parish, a Parish school, or such other pur- 
poses for the support of Episcopal Parish as the Wardens 
and Vestry may think proper." 

The process of reasoning doubtless was that the Parish 
was not restricted to its investment except as mentioned ; 
that the Fund invested in the Parish was as safe an in- 
vestment as the Fund invested in bank stock ; that the issue 
of scrip gave a visible existence to the Fund ; that the rents 
from the pews, the money raised by taxation, and by contri- 
butions for the support of the Parish, might be fairly con- 
sidered as the equivalent of the income from money invested 
in stocks, or bonds and mortgages, or any other good securi- 
ties. The sufficient security in this instance was a second 
lien upon the pew rents, a prior lien upon the same existing 
for twenty thousand dollars, due to " certain individuals." 

Mr. Hoadly, in his Annals of the Parish, well says : — 

" The Fund had been carefully and well managed by Charles Sigour- 
ney, a man of excellent judgment, and the most scrupulous accuracy and 
integrity, and in 1830 consisted of eighty-five shares of stock in the 
Phcenix Bank, of which the par value was $8,500. Pursuant to a vote of 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 93 

the Vestry, February 27th of that year, the money was withdrawn from 
the bank and invested in scrip issued for the purpose of building the 
present Church edifice. This step was vainly opposed by Mr. Sigourney, 
who foresaw, what the event proved, that the Fund would vanish." 

The Vestry had on the 13th of March, 1829, 

" Voted, That immediate measures be taken to procure the appoint- 
ment of Trustees of the Episcopal Church Fund, with a view to its more 
certain preservation." 

As a result a Parish meeting was held on March 23d, 
when it was 

" Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry of this Parish and their suc- 
cessors, be and they hereby are, constituted and appointed ' Trustees of 
the Episcopal Church Fund,' and that the legal title of said fund be 
vested in them as such trustees, with full power to hold the same forever, 
subject to the restrictions and limitations, and according to the provisions 
contained in the Constitution adopted by this Parish April 28, iSio. 

" Voted, That application be made to the General Assembly at their 
session in May next for a legislative act incorporating the Wardens and 
Vestry and their successors such trustees of the Episcopal Church Fund, 
and ratifying and confirming said Constitution." 

Isaac Toucey, S. H. Huntington, and Jeremy Hoadly 
were appointed to prepare and present a petition to the 
General Assembly for this purpose. The result was the 
following act, which was accepted by the Parish June 15, 
1829 : 

"At a General Assembly of the State of Connecticut, Holden in Hartford 
in said State, on the first Wednesday of May, in the year of our Lord 
one thousand eight hundred and twenty-nine. 

" Upon the petition of Christ Church, in the city of Hartford, showing 
to this assembly that in the year 18 10 the said parish established a fund, 
principally from the donations of individuals, to accumulate until the 
income therefrom should amount to five hundred dollars per annum ; 
that said Parish have constituted their Wardens and Vestry and their suc- 
cessors, trustees and managers of said fund, which amounts to about eight 
thousand dollars, and will soon become available to said Parish, and that 
an act of incorporation would remove many difficulties in the manage- 
ment of said fund, and promote its security, praying that said Wardens 
and Vestry and their successors may be incorporated, &c. 



94 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

''Re so hied. By this Assembly, that the Wardens and Vestry of 
the Episcopal Parish of Christ Church, in the city of Hartford, and their 
successors be and they are incorporated by the name of the Episcopal 
Church Fund ; with full powers by that name to sue and be sued, and to 
hold, transfer, invest, reinvest, and manage said fund, not exceeding ten 
thousand dollars, in any real or personal estate according to their best 
discretion, in trust, for the use and benefit of said Parish." 

The Wardens and Vestry, as Trustees of the Episcopal 
Church Fund, met on March i, 1830, and 

" Voted, That the Fund, consisting of eighty-five shares of Phoenix 
Bank stock held by the Episcopal Parish, be invested in the stock which 
has been created by said Parish, and that the amount (eight thousand 
five hundred dollars) be withdrawn from said Bank for that purpose," 
and "Samuel Tudor and Cyprian Nichols were appointed a committee 
to carry the foregoing vote into effect." 

Thus was consummated a measure which was thought to 
be wise at that time. 

Mr. Sigourney had subscribed three hundred and sixty 
dollars for the new church and organ, "on condition the 
Parish Fund be not invested in the Church stock." We 
may judge of the earnestness of his convictions, and adher- 
ence to his views, when we learn that his subscription was 
not paid. 

It should be noted that in March, 1824, the dividends on 
the stock, eighty-five shares, amounted to $295.50 ; and in 
September to a like amount also. The income of the Fund, 
therefore, had arrived at that sum which was available for 
Parish purposes, and was doubtless so used, for the number 
of shares remained the same in September, 1829, when there 
was a dividend on eighty-five shares of $255 ; and another 
March 3, 1830, of the same amount. At this last date the 
loan was made to the Parish, and the dividends, as a visible 
factor in book-keeping, ceased. 

The loan having been effected, and the money having 
been expended in paying a part of the indebtedness of the 
Parish, it would be well to inquire if the treasurer kept 
a distinct and separate account of this Fund, that is, every 
year credited it with its receipts and expenditures. The 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 95 

very existence of the Fund, or rather the remembrance of 
it, would be thus assured. To be sure, it was taking- from 
one pocket and putting it into another. The money was 
invested in the Church building, and was not absolutely 
lost, for the security remained, and remains still ; though 
absorbed by the Parish, it was still secured in the building, 
and must be so considered to this day. 

There seems to have been no further action in this 
matter until the Parish meeting of April 10, 1837, when the 
following appears upon the records : 

" Whereas, This Parish having heretofore borrowed of the Episcopal 
Church Fund the sum of eight thousand five hundred dollars, payable 
on the first day of May, 1837, ' for the sole and only purpose of complet- 
ing the Church and procuring a new organ for said Church,' and by cer- 
tain votes of said parish joassed on the i8th day of December, 1828, 
caused Scrip to issue therefor dated the third of March, 1830. 

' ' Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be and they are hereby 
authorized to continue said loan for a further term not exceeding ten 
years, and to cause Scrip similar in form to said former Scrip, to be 
issued therefor, witnessed by the Wardens and Treasurer of the Parish. 

''Afid whereas. The Trustees of said Episcopal Church Fund did on 
the 8th day of instant April, pass a vote discharging a lien iipon the pew 
rents for the security of the payment of the interest of the said sum of 
$8,500, upon condition this parish, on acceptance of said discharge, do 
pledge said pew rents for the security of the payment of said interest, 
subject to a lien created on the same by a vote of said parish pledging 
said rents for the security of the payment of the interest of $20,000 here- 
tofore borrowed of certain individuals therefor. 

" Voted, That this parish do accept said discharge of said trustees, 
and do hereupon specially pledge the rent of the pews of said church for 
the security of the payment of the interest annually on said Scrip for 
said sum of $8,500, subject, however, to the lien created by a vote this 
day passed, pledging said rents for the security of the payment of the 
interest on the loan of $20,000, heretofore borrowed by this parish of cer- 
tain individuals." 

The existence of this Fund was thus recognized as late 
as 1837, as well as the duty of paying interest upon the 
same. 

Let us notice for a moment two of the votes which have 
been read, passed at a Parish meeting held April 10, 1837. 
To understand them fully it should be remembered that for 



96 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

the purpose of building the Church, stock was created to the 
amount of $20,000. This was taken by individuals, who 
loaned to the Parish various sums of money, to be repaid in 
ten years with annual interest, and a lien was given upon 
the Church building with a security also of the pew rents 
and taxes. The interest had been paid regularly, and was 
endorsed upon the scrip. But it was subject to a prior lien 
to the Episcopal Church Fund. Whether those " certain 
individuals " had become distrustful of their security or not, 
does not otherwise appear, except by the votes discharging 
the first lien to the Episcopal Fund, and substituting in its 
place the loan to "certain individuals." Following this was 
a renewal of the lien to the Fund. Becoming thus a 
second party to a lien, it would not ordinarily be considered 
as secure as before. Perhaps the security was thought to be 
sufficient, but the market value now would be considered as 
impaired by the transaction. No second or third mortgage 
can ever be considered of equal value to the first, and no 
other should ever be taken by religious or benevolent asso- 
ciations, whatever may be the practice in some commercial 
transactions. All the funds of this character should be 
watched with the greatest care and guarded by most 
abundant security. The gifts for pious and benevolent pur- 
poses deserve especial consideration, and should be placed 
beyond the line of speculative investments or temptation of 
extraordinary interest. 

When the principal of the loan became due, in 1847, 
there were still living and still members of the Parish a 
few persons who had full knowledge of all the transactions 
relating to this Church Fund, and, on October 23d, Mr. 
Cyprian Nichols was appointed to investigate and report upon 
its condition. This he probably did, for two days afterwards 
the Wardens and Vestry 

" Voted, that the Treasurer [Mr. Nichols] be and he is appointed 
a committee to receive the scrip of the old Church Fund belonging to 
Christ Church, and now in the hands of Samuel H. Huntington.* 



* We found lying loose in one of the record books the letter of Mr. 
Nichols to Mr. Huntington on this subject. He had enclosed a copy of 
this vote of the Vestry, and added to it the following request : 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 97 

The following vote of the Wardens and Vestry, passed 
Sept. 14, 1850, would indicate that the Treasurer did not 
get it, and that it still remained in the hands of Mr. 
Huntington : 

" Voted, That Zephaniah Preston be appointed and authorized to 
receive the Scrip belonging to said Episcopal Church Fund, now in 
the hands of Saml. H. Huntington, and deposit the same in the Phoenix 
Bank for safe keeping." 

This is the last record which we can find relating to any 
action taken by the Trustees relating to this Fund, and 
no further mention is made concerning it by the Treas- 
urer, as we can ascertain, but it is believed that it was 
deposited in the Phoenix Bank according to the above in- 
structions. The officers of the Bank think that it was 
deposited there, but have no knowledge of it now, nor 
can it be found there. Mr. Redfield states that a most 
thorough search was made for it, especially when the re- 
moval of the bank was made into the present new build- 
ing, but the scrip could not be found. Mr. Charles H. 
Northam, who was long a member of this Parish and well 
acquainted with the history of this Fund, some time before 
his death expressed considerable anxiety concerning it, 
recognizing the duty of the Parish towards it, and en- 
deavored to find the location of the scrip, but was not 
successful.* The chairman of this committee some time 
afterwards also instituted a search for it, and was equally 
unsuccessful. As it could not be found m the bank, he 
enquired of the descendants of Mr. Nichols, Mr. Hunt- 



"D>-Sir: 

" As I understand the business, the views of the Wardens & Vestry, 
as Trustees of the Old Parish Fund, desire to make entry upon the Scrip 
issued on act. of said Fund, of the interest thereon, and that the Scrip 
shall then be deposited or kept safe, conformably to the vote of the 
Parish on the subject. When convenient, please hand me the Scrip. 

" I am Respectfully y",

" S. H. Huntingdon, Esq."

ington, and Mr. Preston, all of them being dead, thinking 
it possible that it might be among their papers, but could 
learn nothing about it. Possibly it is lost, destroyed, 
perhaps ground up in some paper mill, the devourer 
equally of many old and precious documents as well as of 
much useless rubbish which it would be well if it had 
neither been written or printed. But it is possible, also, 
that it is still in existence and may be brought to light 
many years hence, as has been the case with other impor- 
tant papers stored away in old chests and in old attics, by 
some one delving for a few grains of wheat in many bushels 
of chaff. 

We close this presentation of the Fund by the following 
notes of Mr. Nichols in the Treasurer's book, p. 67 : 

"The above Scrip, No. 28, [was issued] by Parish to Trustees 
of Parish Fund [Episcopal Church Fund], which consisted of 85 shares 
of stock in the Phoenix Bank, and said Scrip was to show the amt. for 
which the stock was sold. The avails or proceeds of said stock [were] 
credited for Parish purposes and appHed in building Church," &c. 

There is another memorandum on page 54 by Mr. 
Nichols : 

"This Scrip was placed in the hands of S. H. Huntington for safe 
keeping, then one of the Wardens, it is believed,* and still remains in his 
hand, Feb. 7, 1S48. — W. and Vestry have however passed a vote that 
Scrip be returned to Treasurer of Parish. But as the form was objected 
to, it was not de'<i. Mr. H. will deliver the Scrip to Trustees of the Fund 
on being required by them. April, 1849. Scrip has not yet been given 
up to Trustees, but ought to be done." 

Mr. Cyprian Nichols, who was treasurer of the 
Parish for many years, was early in life connected 
with it, and was much devoted to its interests. He 
was of more than ordinary intelligence, of great pru- 
dence, and most scrupulous integrity ; the possession of 
coinmon-sense was eminently developed in him. Whatever 
business he undertook for others was as well cared for as if 



* Wm. H. Imlay and Nathan Morgan were the Wardens in 1830. Mr. 
S. H. Huntington was a member of the Vestry. 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 99 

it had been for himself, and it was with him no less a point of 
honor than a conscientious sense of duty, that he for so long 
a time administered the financial affairs of the Parish. His 
accounts show great attention to details, both in presenting 
his annual reports to the Parish, in giving estimates of its 
probable receipts and expenditures, in procuring loans, and 
paying of interest. He also took the liberty of adding various 
side notes and explanations to his figures, which help won- 
derfully in making plain something which would otherwise 
be obscure. He was a member of the Vestry in 1807, a faith- 
ful attendant at its meetings then and afterwards, serving 
upon numerous committees year after year, treasurer of the 
Parish for a long time, and held that office at the time of his 
death in 1853. 

There was formerly a law of the city that no fire should 
be kindled in a stove newly set up until it had been inspected 
by a fire warden, to be assured of its safety. His regard for 
law, and sense of responsibility for the Church, led him to 
look after this matter as carefully as if it had been his own 
house. A faithful diligence like this would doubtless prevent 
the loss by fire of many churches, at this day accounted for 
by an '' overheated register " or " defective flue." This mem- 
orandum, found in the book of the Treasurer, and made by 
him, is copied from page 171, Vol. I. It illustrates well his 
great carefulness and prudence : 

" Ocf 22d, 1S42. This day at noon, called upon Denslow, Fire War- 
den of [the] Ward, to examine the stoves at Christ Church, which were 
this day newly set up. Went with the Warden, and he examined those 
in the body of the Church, that in Vestry room, and also the stove in the 
Chapel, and said the whole were in excellent order, and he thought safe." 

A member of this committee remembers that he was sent 
by his father to the fire warden, Wm. H. Hoadley, in 1828, to 
examine the kitchen stove to see if it was safe. The ques- 
tion of lighting a fire in it before it had been officially exam- 
ined, was a matter of family discussion ; though it caused 
some little annoyance by the delay, the question was settled 
in the negative. Mr. Hoadley examined it carefully, espe-

cially where the pipe entered the chimney, pronounced it 
safe, and we were well satisfied. He was a useful man. 

The true status or legal condition of the Episcopal 
Church Fund can only be obtained except by a careful and 
thorough legal consideration of it. Though different opin- 
ions are held about it, and its revival considered of no great 
importance, and no meetings of its Trustees have been held 
for many years, yet it must be remembered that the Trustees 
are still in existence by the annual election of Wardens and 
Vestry. These were constituted Trustees by an act of the 
Legislature ; it was by no election as separate and distinct 
officers, but from their election as Wardens and Vestry, they 
became Trustees, and might at any time have attended to 
their special duty had they been so disposed. There has 
been no failure to elect Wardens and Vestry in any year, and 
so the Trustees may be fairly said to be in existence at the 
present time. 

If the Fund was actually in existence as a separate and 
distinct Fund, invested, for instance, as it was when loaned 
to the Parish in 1830, it would in a pecuniary sense be of 
benefit to us now, as it would in a measure ease us of some 
burdens not easy to be borne, and aid in extending some of 
the work of the Parish. The only practical way to bring 
this about, as it would seem, would be for the Parish to pay 
this loan ; but as this cannot now be done, it is possible that 
some one person, or a number of them, may in the future find 
it to be their duty to do this generous act. The loan being 
paid, the Trustees then in office might invest the sum and 
annually pay the income to the Parish. The Fund is then 
revived and restored to its original purpose. 

But with the different views which are held concerning 
it, and the possible legal complications, the committee have 
no recommendations to make and content themselves for the 
present b)^ giving this histor}^ to the Parish. vSome way out 
of the difficiilty may be evolved in the future. 

Since the above was writteji the Scrip, No. 28, for $8,500, has 
been found, as will be related. It is thought best, however, 
to let the above stand as a matter of continuous history.

THE CHURCH SCRIP, OR PARISH SCRIP. 

The Parish created stock to the amount of $20,000 for the 
purpose of aiding in building the Church, and issued Scrip 
for the same. This was taken by " certain individuals " who 
loaned this amount to the Parish. The Episcopal Church 
Fund having- been sold, was also invested in this Scrip, and 
was to be treated and considered in all respects like the 
preceding issue. It was called No. 28, and is so recorded 
upon the Treasurer's book. For a long term of years this 
certificate was supposed to be lost, as the most diligent 
search had not enabled anyone to find it. It was, however, 
discovered in the Phoenix Bank a few days since in a folded 
envelope, carefully sealed, the seal bearing the impress of the 
letter P, and had undoubtedly been deposited there by Mr. 
Zephaniah Preston in accordance with a vote of the Trustees. 
It has upon the envelope the following endorsement: 

" Certificate of Church Stock, owned by the Trustees of the Episcopal 
Church Fund. 

" Deposited by Z. Preston, Committee of the Board of Trustees. 
"July, 1852." 

This paper is clean and in good preservation, and has 
upon it no indorsement of interest or of its renewal in 1837. 
It is similar in form to the other numbers of the Scrip except 
in the filling of the blank spaces of the printed copy. 

The Parish had voted, March 20, 1827, to erect a new 
Church building, the cost of which, with the site and organ, 
should not exceed $28,000. It was proposed 'to borrow the 
needed amount, and it adopted the method of creating stock 
for this purpose. It does not appear that any money was 
raised in advance by subscriiotions. It was 

' ' Voted, That for the sole and only purpose of erecting a new Church 
for the use of the Parish, and of procuring a new organ for said Church, 
this Parish do accept of a certain penal bond, dated the i6th day of Feb- 
ruary, 1827, executed to the Parish by Nathaniel S. Wheaton, WiUiam 
H. Imlay, and others, hereby ratifying and confirming all the provisions 
in the conditions of said bond implying an obligation on this Parish. 

" Voted, That the rents of the Pews and Slips of said new Church, 
when completed, be and they hereby are specifically pledged to secure 
the payment of the interest on the stock created by the conditions of said 
bond." 



I02 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

A copy of this bond is not to found upon the Parish 
records, nor have we succeeded in finding it anywhere.* It 
was probably only an agreement by the subscribers to 
take a certain amount of stock in the proposed move- 
ment, just as is now done in the organization or 
creation of banking, manufacturing, or other joint stock 
corporations. This is indicated by a vote of the Vestry, 
Aug. 12, 1828, calling for "a further installment of 25 
per cent., to be paid by the subscribers to the bond for raising money 
to build a neiv Church^'' etc. The subscribers to the bond were 
undoubtedly the persons to whom the Scrip was issued, and 
whose names are now to be found upon the Treasurer's book. 
These were all members of the Parish, interested in the 
object and willing to loan to it their money, but who did not 
feel able to give it outright. At this day we should subscribe 
a certain sum for such a purpose, and agree to pay it when 
called for. As a curious financial transaction and as illus- 
trating some of the methods of our predecessors in Church 
building, it may be stated that this Scrip became negotiable 
paper, and some of it passed into the hands of non-members 
of the Parish, and even non-residents of the town. It was con- 
sidered a good and sound investment, paying six per cent, as 
interest, was exempt from taxation, and very sure to be paid 
in the future. We found a bundle of this Church Scrip among 
the parish papers, and at first thought we had found the long 
lost Scrip which Col. Northam and others had searched for 
in vain. But, upon examination, it proved to be the Scrip 
issued in 1828 for the purpose of building the Church, and 
was due in 1837. This was printed upon an ordinary folio 
sheet, with the necessary blank spaces, much like an usual 
mortgage bond or lease. In the Appendix will be fotmd a 
specimen of this Scrip, which is well covered with receipts 
for the annual interest. In this particular instance, " Scrip 
No. II," the money had been loaned by Jeremy Hoadley, but 
it had afterwards passed into the hands of " Frederick Rob- 
bins for Roxy Goodspeed." He endorses upon it the interest, 
and acknowledges the payment of the principal by "the

dorsed, has been found, and is printed in the Appendix.

above Scrip cancelled by renewal Scrip No. 45." This 
renewal was for the term of ten years, and was authorized 
by the Parish at a meeting held April, 1837. The following 
is the vote: 

" Whereas, this Parish having heretofore procured a loan payable on 
the first day of May, 1837, ' for the sole and only purpose of purchasing 
a site, building a Church, and procuring an organ,' and by certain votes 
of the Parish passed on the 20th day of March, 1827, caused scrip to issue 
therefor, dated the ist day of April, A.D. 1828. 

' ' Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be and they are authorized to 
continue said loan for a further term, not exceeding te)i years, and to 
cause scrip, similar in form like said former scrip, issued therefor, wit- 
nessed by the Wardens of the Parish. 

" Voted, That the rents of the pews and slips in the Church be, and 
the same hereby are, specially pledged for the payment of the interest 
annually, on said scrip, to the holders thereof." 

There is no further reference to the Scrip imtil April 29, 
1 84 1, when this vote was passed : 

" Voted, That the Treasurer be authorized to borrow, if necessary, a 
sum of money, not exceeding ten or twelve hundred dollars, to pay in- 
terest due on the Church scrip, said money to be repaid from the pew 
rents and taxes first collected." 

The amount voted by the Parish ($28,000), not being 
sufficient to complete the Church, there was a Parish meet- 
ing held December 18, 1828, "on business of importance," 
and the object being stated, which was to create more stock 
for completing the new Church, it was 

" Voted, That the Parish do authorize the creation of addi- 
tional stock to the amount of fifteen thousand dollars for 
completing the new Church," and then reference was made to 
"a certain penal bond, dated the i6th day of December, 
1828," which was again ratified and confirmed, and the rents 
of the pews were pledged again for the payment of the 
interest on the stock. The building committee were em- 
powered to dispose of the stock, and apply the amount for 
building the Church, and for the organ. At another Parish 
meeting, January 21, 1829, it was 

" Voted, That the bond accepted by this Parish at a meeting held the 
1 8th day of December, 1828, for the purpose of raising fifteen thousand 
dollars stock, be altered, by striking out the clause in the same which 



I04 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

provided that the said bond shall not be binding unless the whole amount 
of said stock be taken up." 

Of this additional stock there was " less than nine thou- 
sand dollars created," as appears from the following preamble 
and votes, which were passed at a Parish meeting July 4, 

1833 : 

" Whereas, This Parish, by sundry votes passed on the i8th day of 
December, 1828, authorized the creation of stock to the amount of fifteen 
thousand dollars, for the sole and only purpose of completing the new 
Church, and a part only of said stock, less than nine thousand dollars, 
was issued, and whereas a balance is now due to the Building Committee 
for the same objects : — 

" Voted, That the Wardens and Treasurer be authorized and directed 
to issue scrip to the amount of three thousand and five hundred dollars 
for the payment of the balance due to said Building Committee, in the 
same manner as if said sum had been subscribed i:nder the aforesaid 
votes of the i8th December, 1828; and that this Parish do hereby assume 
the same obligations, and confer on the holders of such scrip the same 
rights as if said scrip had then been issued. 

" Voted, That the Wardens and Treasurer be authorized to dispose of 
said scrip to the best advantage, and that the Treasurer apply the 
amount thereof to the payment of the balance due to the Building Com- 
mittee." 

This Scrip was renewed in 1837, and most of it for an- 
other ten years also. But it was all finally paid, this and the 
first issue also, the last payment being to Nancy Waterman, 
in 1850, as will be further stated. 

Perhaps there was a difficulty in disposing of the addi- 
tional stock ; perhaps, and this is more probable, the parish- 
ioners had come to realize that it was time to do something 
more than to pay interest upon borrowed money, and give 
something themselves to aid in extinguishing the debt 
which they had incurred. It should be stated in justification 
of this issue of Scrip, that the churchmen of Hartford had, 
within the decade, been large contributors to benevolent and 
educational institutions in the city. The Retreat for the 
Insane, Washington College, and the Hartford Academy, 
shared largely in their bounty ; they were not lagging in 
their offerings for all charitable work. Episcopalians had 
not been regarded very favorably in the past, but, after the 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 105 

great political revolution in the State, they became a power 
not to be despised. There naturally followed a more chari- 
table understanding among all religious bodies, and a 
general feeling that the intolerance of the past was neither 
Christian nor in any way beneficial. During this period, the 
prejudices against the Church were much allayed, and many 
connected themselves with it, from its conservative char- 
acter, its freedom from illiberality, and from a love of its 
noble forms of worship. The new movement gave addi- 
tional zeal to its old members, who became more zealous 
in good works. Nor was this visible prosperity confined 
to one body of Christians, but it was felt by others also. 
The political zeal which for many years had been very 
bitter, was partially allayed, and men began to think that, 
after all, they had very much in common. As a consequence 
of this sense of freedom they turned their attention to manu- 
factures and internal improvements, and the State soon 
became a different State from that at the beginning of the 
century. 

The old church building, on the north corner of Main and 
Church streets, was not large enough to hold its worshipers ; 
with that pride in appearances which affects saints as well as 
sinners, they desired a larger, more convenient, and ecclesi- 
astical structure. Mr. Towne gave them a plan for a noble 
building, which was a model for strength and beauty; it was 
well supplemented by the fine taste, knowledge, and zeal of 
the Rector, Nathaniel S. Wheaton. To .his indomitable 
energy, we are indebted for the present building; the parish- 
ioners, through his influence, were led to a larger expendi- 
ture than had at first been contemplated, and greater also 
than they thought they could readily meet. But the spirit 
of progress in the community, and that confidence which 
comes from the assurance of a bold leader, enlisted them in 
a scheme which at first seemed beyond their ability or ex- 
pectations. When we know that the money in circulation 
was limited, and that a large share of the business of the 
country was transacted upon notes, promises to pay, and 
barter or exchange, we may forgive some of their methods, 



I06 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

which now seem so strange and in such great contrast to our 
own. With the abundance of money which now exists, and 
the comparative ease with which it may be obtained, we are 
likely to be less charitable to our predecessors than a proper 
consideration would warrant. 

Nor should we overlook the fact that the House of God 
,chould be an honorable house, made decent, and kept from 
profane and unhallowed use. Nothing which we can do, 
and nothing which we can give of our best, is unworthy 
of it, or unbecoming in us. The plainness of the Puritans, 
which dominated our early settlers, while it was a part of 
their belief, was also a part of their necessity. It held to 
them as long as their necessities existed, and has become 
no part of the belief of their descendants. If it was never a 
part of the belief of churchmen, it was, in this part of the 
country, certainly a consequence also of their necessities. 
They were no more wealthy than other citizens of the State, 
probably less so, and did the best they could under their cir- 
cumstances. They built humbly, but reverently, and did not 
suffer their houses of worship to be turned into places for 
noisy and sometimes tumultuous assemblages. When they 
were able they built not only more stable and comfortable, 
but more elegant houses of worship. Gradually they have 
been followed by most Christian bodies of worshipers, and it 
is a matter of congratulation that it is so generally regarded 
that whatever we dedicate to Almighty God should be of our 
best. 

The project of raising fifteen thousand dollars, by the 
issue of more Scrip, being unsuccessful, a subscription for 
raising seven thousand dollars was made ; it is as follows : 

"We the subscribers, agree to pay the sums affixed to our names 
annually, for four years, to the Treasurer of C. C. Parish in Hartford, to 
be appropriated by said Parish towards building a Church and purchas- 
ing an organ therefor, provided this subscription shall amount to the sum 
of Seven Thousand Dollars, to be payable on the first day of January in 
each year hereafter. Hartford January 1829. 

"Provided said subscriptions shall not exceed Twenty Dollars, the 
same shall be payable in one year from first instant.

The completion of the Church gave great satisfaction, as 
is shown by the following votes, passed in Parish meeting, 
March 8, 1830. The addition of the tower was left until 
1839 : 

" Whereas, the New Church has at all times been a subject of the 
liveliest hopes and fears, and it being now tenantable, justice, as well as 
inclination, demands an expression of gratitude towards the Building 
Committee, who, under the great head of the Church, through patience, 
perseverance, wisdom, and economy, have brought the work, unaccom- 
panied by any painful incident, to a successful issue. 

" Voted, The Parish do respectfully render thanks to William H. Im- 
lay, Samuel Ttidor, and James Ward, Esq'rs, for the great benefits con- 
ferred on the Parish by their gratuitous, judicious, and prompt perform- 
ance of the duties of the Building Committee. 

' ' The accomplishment of a great and benevolent work constitutes 
a proper era for an expression of gratitude towards its promoters. On 
this day, therefore, the cause of this assembly addresses itself to our 
feelings, and demands of us the meed of praise in behalf of those who, in 
a special manner, have contributed to the erection of our new Church.

Church, including the lot on which it stands, and also the Organ placed

" The building committee made no charge against the Parish for their

who had to expend more time in making collections and disbursements 
than all the building committee together.*

perfect agreement among the committee at all times.

And in so doing we cannot but recur with pleasvire to the zeal and 
harmony that have pervaded the Parish, and without the existence of 
which so great a work could not have been achieved. For this also let us 
now congratulate each other. Among the many whose liberality has 
been great, whose zeal has been excellent, and whose services have been 
important, the rector of the Parish stands conspicuous, whether we recur 
to the incipient idea of building, the provision of means, or to the design 
and ornaments of the edifice, presenting to the scientific observer utility, 
strength, and beauty, in a chaste combination of Gothic walls, with more 
than Grecian elegance. May we not also hope, by a just expression of 
our feelings on this occasion, a perpetual benefit will result to the Parish ? 
While the massive walls of our Church shall endure, and the records 
of our Parish shall remain, the every eye that beheld the foundation of 
the building laid shall be closed, and every tongue that worshipped at its 
consecration shall be silent, our record will remind both Minister and Peo- 
ple who shall come after us, of the practical compatibility of serving at 
the altar, without neglecting the useful and ornamental arts and sciences. 

" Resolved, That we do congratulate each other upon the important 
and valuable acquisition of our New Church, and acknowledging the 
liberality as well as the otherwise more important agency of the Rev. 
Nathaniel S. Wheaton in procuring it, the Parish do unite in prayer to 
Almighty God, that he may long tread the courts thereof, and success- 
fully labor at the altar therein, until having made up many jewels and 
prepared many ornaments, he be called with them to possess the building 
of God not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 

" Voted, That Mr. James Chamberlain is hereby requested to accept 
of one hundred dollars in cash, and fifty dollars in Plate, with a suitable 
inscription, from the Parish of Christ Church in Hartford, not so much 
for its value, as a grateful aekowledgment for the unwearied and judi- 
cious application of his talent as an architect and builder; and for his 
skillful and successful superintendence of the New Church, to its (thus 
far) completion." 

It having- become a question whether the holder of a scrip 
had power to transfer a portion of the same, it was, at a 
meeting of the Wardens and Vestry, October 4, 1830, "-Voted, 
That Mr. Toticey and Mr. S. H. Huntington be a committee 
to examine the bond upon which the Parish stock was issued, 
and ascertain what powers the Wardens and Vestry possess 
relative to making rules for transferring the stock." They 
reported, April 9, 1831, "That the Wardens and Treasurer 
possess power to receive back the scrip which was originally 
issued by them, and re-issue the same in such amounts as the 



REPORT ON FUNDS. Ill 

holders may choose." Thus the holders of a certain piece of 
scrip were enabled to transfer a portion of the same, just as 
the owner of shares of stock in a bank or other corporation 
can now do the same. 

In March, 1832, the Treasurer was authorized to borrow 
two thousand dollars to pay the interest due upon certain 
notes, " and also on the scrip issued by the Parish." 

It appears that the receipts of the Parish at this time, 
1837, had not been sufficient to meet its expenses; the very 
interest due upon one of its loans was to be borrowed to pay 
its debts. Whenever an individual resorts to such expe- 
dients to sustain his credit, he is regarded as being in a bad 
way and not very far from bankruptcy. This unwelcome 
criticism is not made for the purpose of casting blaine upon 
the Parish; it was the method pursued not infrequently at 
the time; the maxim, "Pay as you go," might be agreed to 
in a general way, but the fitting application of it was not 
applicable here. As we look at it at present, the reasoning 
was not correct, and the trouble now was that a large item 
of annual interest existed upon borrowed money. Anyone 
who looks over the records of the Parish for years previous 
and for years afterwards also, will be astonished at the 
amount expended in this way. If money was needed and 
was not in hand, a note at four months at the Phcenix Bank 
was voted, and perhaps renewed. If it was paid, another 
soon followed, and the annual deficit was increased. After 
awhile this became so large that its reduction .was demanded, 
and for a time the Parish kept within proper bounds; 
but not long, and then another subscription was made for the 
accumulating debt. There was no necessity for this; its 
members were numerous and among the wealthy people of 
the town. Some of them had been members of the Parish 
almost from its formation; they were acquainted with its 
early trials, and the difficulties which had beset them. The 
very fact that their religious views were subject to hostile 
criticism made them better acquainted with the history of 
the Church and more able defenders of the faith. They 
were devoted churchmen, and, it is believed, better instructed 



112 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

than are a majority of those who now are classed as its 
members. They were knit together in strong bands, earnest 
in their belief, and perfectly satisfied with their form of wor- 
ship. The attachment of such people to the Church is not 
easily broken; opposition only increases their love for it and 
determination to uphold it. 

Those who imagine that the churchmen of earlier days 
were neglectful of their duties to their fellow men, that their 
contributions were expended only for their own pleasure or 
comfort, are very much mistaken, for they were diligent in 
their care for the sick and poor, and were not limited in their 
offerings to objects near their own homes. There is no 
reason to believe that their conceptions of duty were 
not as profound as any at this day. With a smaller 
population than at present, with much less intercourse 
with the world, with commerce and manufactures far less, 
and with far less general diffusion of money also, they 
did not see the necessity, nor did they have the 
ability, to carry out the multitude of schemes which 
some consider the necessary duty of a religious society of 
to-day. Probably they did, however, consider the obligation 
of public worship as a greater duty than many do at the 
present time; and it is also possible that the superabundant 
number of organizations which exist in some Parishes, with 
their numerous meetings extending all through the week, 
has had the effect to keep from attendance at Church many 
who believe that duties which properly belong to the 
civil authority are too often assumed by religious societies. 
In former years it was customary to find whole families in 
their pews; the father and mother, with all their children 
who were able to attend. Mr. Imlay and his family, and 
George Beach, Denison Morgan, Samuel Tuttle, S. H. Hunt- 
ington, Cyprian Nichols, Jeremy Hoadley, Roswell Bartholo- 
mew, and a host of others might be named. If the 
congregation was not as large in the morning as in the 
afternoon, it was probably because some necessary duties 
had their demands. Good Dr. Sumner's pew was always 
filled, and if he came in later in the day it was because his 



REPORT ON FUNDS. II3 

professional obligations kept him elsewhere. If there was 
a third service in the evening, as was common, the Church 
was still filled with the family. Nor was family worship or 
religious instruction neglected at home, but was much more 
common than at present. The Sunday-school, which was 
commenced in 1820, was carried on successfully by James 
M. Goodwin, Zephaniah Preston, and S. H. Huntington, 
and others, for many years. The teachers were men and 
women capable of giving instruction and of preserving order. 

We allow that the conditions are very much changed, 
"that Church work," as it is called^ is held up as the impera- 
tive duty, and so comes special organization after organiza- 
tion, until, as was said by one high in authority in the Church, 
"we are almost organized to death." 

It would be cruel to call this excessive desire for " Church 
work " to be akin to a spirit of religious dissipation. To 
characterize it as such would be to impeach the honesty of 
motive and sincerity of action of those engaged in it. This 
cannot be done properly or truly, but it should be remem- 
bered that the churchmen of former days set their faces 
strongly against the excitements which so many think to be 
a part of religious duty. By a prudent and dignified course 
it brought to its communion large numbers who were pleased 
with it not merely for its teachings as a religious body, nor 
for its forms of worship alone, but for that broad and com- 
prehensive sense of what is becoming in our worship to 
Almighty God and our duty to our fellow men; they leaned 
neither toward Rome nor Geneva, and they knew better 
than many churchmen now know why the middle way was 
the better way. 

The circumstances of our Parish have greatly changed. 
We are now far from the center of population, for homes 
have given way to places of business. The organization of 
numerous parishes in dilTerent parts of the town has weak- 
ened the center and not very much strengthened themselves. 
Many members have removed to a distance. The old men 
have died, and their places have not been supplied. Worse 
than all, there has come about a notion that attendance at

Church is well enough for the women, and at the Sunday- 
school for the children. And so we see so few of our young 
men within its walls. Our fathers were better instructed 
and were firmer in their faith. 

It would have been difficult to have found at this time a 
more harmonious, flourishing, and devoted parish than that 
of Christ Church. The Rev. George Burgess had come to 
this diocese in 1834, from Rhode Island. He was a graduate 
from Brown University, and this was his first parochial 
charge. After the resignation of Rev. Dr. Hugh Smith in 
September, 1833, the parish was without a rector until he was 
chosen, November, 1834. It was more customary at that 
time to give the congregation an opportunity to judge of the 
qualifications and appearance of candidates themselves, 
rather than to submit to the report of a committee. The 
impression he made was so favorable, that he was immedi- 
ately called to the charge of the parish, and entered at once 
upon his duties. During all his residence here, he was held 
in universal esteem, both by parishioners, and by citizens of 
the town. Of marked literary ability, and great gentleness 
of manner, of a meekness of spirit, yet accompanied with a 
firmness of purpose, of uncommon industry, with a perfect 
love for his people, and a profound conception of his duties 
as a priest in the Church of God, he labored with his whole 
heart to fulfil his divine mission, in ministering to the needs 
of the parish. He received the cordial support and sym- 
pathy of all men; the members were increasing, the Church 
was crowded, " peace and prosperity were within her walls." 

The parish had now reached its highest point of pros- 
perity. 

There was no better time than this for the parish to 
remember its unsettled obligations; a debt is always 
burdensome, to ecclesiastical bodies, as well as to in- 
dividuals. There was now due from the parish the sum 
of twenty thousand dollars, which was represented by 
the Scrip which had been issued in 1828, and also about 
fifteen thousand dollars in addition. It was a matter demand- 
ing earnest attention, and in 1845 the parish began to discuss

it. There were several propositions to reduce this indebted- 
ness, varying from sums of five to fifteen thousand dollars. 
The latter amount was finally decided upon, and a committee 
was appointed to solicit subscriptions. Though the commit- 
tee were active, they evidently were somewhat discouraged, 
but on June 30th they reported to an adjourned meeting of 
the parish, that the sum of fifteen thousand dollars had been 
subscribed; and Messrs. Miles A. Tuttle, Dudley Buck, and 
Hezekiah Huntington were appointed to collect the same. 

By the terms of the subscription, the payments were to 
be made annually, and extended over the term of three 
years. Mr. Nichols states in his side notes, that the " dis- 
counts for prompt pay " and the " loss on subscriptions " 
amounted to a little over one thousand dollars. That this 
subscription should be partly applied to the Parish Scrip is 
shown b}^ this vote of the Vestry, December, 1846. 

" Voted, That the Clerk be authorized to notify such holders of Scrip 
as the Treasurer may direct, to hold themselves in readiness to deliver 
their Scrip, and to receive the funds for the same." 

The total amount subscribed was fifteen thousand one 
hundred seventy-six dollars. There was unpaid of this 

Church Scrip in 1845, $18,100 

Unpaid Church Scrip in 1848, 12,900 



Paid in three years, of Scrip, .... $5,200 

Thus, in round numbers, the old Church. Scrip received 
$5,000, leaving the balance of $10,000, which had been in- 
curred from an annual expenditure of more than annual 
receipts. And after all the indebtedness was not fully dis- 
charged until 1856, when another subscription of $18,000 was 
made to pay for debts mostly. This matter is dwelt upon 
after this painful manner, that those who have the man- 
agement of the finances of the Parish in the future may 
learn how much it is hampered in its operations by an ac- 
cumulating indebtedness. 

Mr. Nichols, the treasurer, reported April i, 1850, that the 
amount of Scrip remaining unpaid was $12,900. The Parish 



Il6 CHRIST CIIURCir, HARTFORD. 

followed a plan, sometimes adopted, of borrowing money to 
pay a debt. The burden was shifted from one shoulder to 
another. It is recorded in a preamble: — 

" Whereas, The Scrip issued by this Parish payable to sundry 
persons, has become due and payable, and it has become necessary that 
provision should be made to pay said Scrip, with the interest due thereon, 
it is therefore, — 

" Voted, That Dudley Buck, Ebenezer Flower, and C. Nichols, be and 
they are hereby appointed a committee, and duly authorized in behalf of 
said Parish to procure a loan from the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance 
Company in Hartford, not exceeding twelve thousand dollars, for the 
purpose of paying said Scrip, with the interest due thereon; and to make 
and execute a note therefor, payable to said Insurance Company, on 
demand, with interest semi-annually. And said committee are also au- 
thorized, in behalf of said Parish, to make and execute a deed of con- 
veyance of the lot of land with the church building thereon, owned by 
said Parish, situated on the corner of Main and Church streets, in the 
city of Hartford, etc. 

" Voted, That it shall be the duty of said Committee to pay the 
amount of said loan when procured as aforesaid, to the Treasurer of said 
Parish, or to his successor in office, as shall be required by him to pay 
said Scrip and interest ; and that said Treasurer is hereby authorized to 
apply the amount paid by said Committee, to the payment of said Scrip 
and interest, as soon as it shall be practicable, in accordance with the 
tenor thereof, and to no other purpose whatever, except for the payment 
of a Parish note, advanced to amount of two thousand dollars, for 
the same amount of said Scrip payable in February next." 

The funds obtained by the loan from the insurance com- 
pany was applied to the payment of the scrip, $12,900, and 
thus the Church, or Parish Scrip, disappears from view. As 
a true factor in the parish finances, it is no more to be found 
by this name, but a very substantial ghost has taken its place. 
The holders were all paid in April or May of 1850, with one 
exception, which is explained in one of the side notes of the 
faithful treasurer, as follows, on p. 159: — 

" The above Scrip, issued by the Parish of Christ Church, is now paid, 
with the interest thereon to April i, 1850. Excepting Scrip No. 43, $500, 
which has been assigned by Nancy Waterman to her son, G. B. Water- 
man, who was absent, and it is supposed will not return home until one 
or two years. The interest was therefore paid to Nancy Waterman to i

Treas." 

Capt. Waterman was drowned at sea, and the Scrip No. 
43 was paid to his brother, N. M. Waterman, in September 
of the same year. 

It was recognized that, though the Scrip had been paid, 
there was still an indebtedness remaining, for on the 21st of 
April, 1 85 1, the Parish 

" Voted, That a committee of three be appointed to propose measures 
for the foundation of a Fund, for the purpose of Hquidating the Parish 
debt, and report to the next adjourned meeting of the Parish. Messrs. 
Wilham H. Imlay, Isaac Toucey, and George Sumner were appointed 
said committee." 

On the 6th of May this committee reported several 
resolutions constituting the " Wardens and Treasurer a 
Board of Trustees of the Sinking Fund of Christ Church; au- 
thorizing them to receive all moneys which may be given to 
said Parish for the purpose of reducing or paying its present 
permanent debt of i|i 2,000 to the Connecticut Mutual Life 
Insurance Company, and such further sum or sums as may 
be derived from the pew rents of said Parish, and to invest 
the same," etc. The Trustees were also required " whenever, 
and as often as it can be done conveniently, to appl}' the 
whole, or any part of said Fund, towards the payment of the 
principal of said debt, and for no other purpose whatever; 
and such Trustees shall render an annual account of said 
funds to the Parish at its annual meeting on Easter Monday," 
and that " any surplus of pew rents over the ordinary ex- 
penses of the Parish, that may remain in the Treasury at the 
end of each year, shall be appropriated to the Sinking Fund, 
provided the same shall not exceed the sum of two hundred 
dollars." 

In September of the same year, another loan was author- 
ized from the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, 
" for an amount not exceeding two thousand dollars, for the 
debts that are due, or may become due from time to time, 
with the interest thereon." And another mortgage was 
placed upon the Church. 



Il8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Truly, the Parish, so large and wealthy, was floundering 
in unnecessary complications. 

If there was any " annual account " made by the Trustees 
of the Sinking Fnnd, to the Parish meeting held April, 1852, 
it does not appear upon the record, and probably nothing 
had been effected concerning it. The subject, however, had 
not been forgotten, for the Wardens and Vestry a few days 
afterwards directed the treasurer " to pay to the Trustees of 
the Sinking Fund the sum of two hundred dollars, on the 
first of July next." There was also an attempt to raise three 
hundred dollars, by subscription, for this Fund; but this also 
came to naught; the evil was not to be cured in this petty way. 
Men in like instances often fritter away their energies in 
expedients which are puerile and useless, fearing to attack 
the prime difficulty itself, and it was so here; the parish had 
not come to a full consciousness of the burdensome debt, or 
to a clear method of removing it. An irritated feeling had 
been created by a divided opinion concerning the music, and 
by protracted and tireless debates in the Vestry about en- 
closing the church with a fence. The increasing amount of 
interest upon loans, and upon notes negotiated at bank, with 
expenditures greater than receipts, were causes of vexation, 
when they should have been causes of harmony and united 
action. The necessity of a change was great, and it was 
about to come. 

The Rev. Thomas M. Clark had been chosen as Rector 
in 185 1, with great unanimity. He was a man of so 
much ability and dignity of character, that he gained 
the entire affection and confidence of the parishioners. 
He was in the position to act as the wise and just coun- 
sellor and' mediator, and succeeded in quieting differences 
thought to have been important, and in turning attention 
to a serious consideration of the financial state of the 
Parish. He was the leader who was needed at just this 
time. And so it came to pass, that at a meeting of the War- 
dens and Vestry, Sept. 27, 1852, it was 

" Voted, That the Rector be requested to notify a meeting of 
the gentlemen of the Parish on some Tuesday evening during the month 



REPORT ON FUNDS. I IQ 

of October ensuing, to consider the indebtedness of the Parish, and to 
take such measures as they may think advisable, for the partial or entire 
liquidation of the Parish debt." 

The chairman of this committee, then a member of 
the Vestry, well remembers the pleasure with which this 
suggestion was received, and the feeling that it was a 
movement in the right direction. 

The matter received the consideration of the Wardens 
and Vestry at different times, and at a Parish meeting held 
on the 5th of April, 1853, it was 

" Voted, That H. Huntington, D. Morgan, G. W. Russell, James 
Bolter, Thomas J. Fales, and Thomas T. Fisher, be and they are 
hereby appointed a Committee to raise by subscription the sum 
of eighteen thousand dollars, payable in one, two, three, and four 
years, in equal annual instalments, the same to be appropriated 
as recommended by the Wardens and Vestry. No subscription 
to be binding unless the full amount of eighteen thousand dollars be 
subscribed." 

The recommendation of the Wardens and Vestry was 
that the above specified sum should be used "for the 
purposes of paying the Parish debt, building a fence 
around the Church, and for making such other improvements 
and repairs as may be deemed necessary." 

The committee were so much in earnest, that in Septem- 
ber, Mr. Huntington reported to the Vestry that they had 
obtained subscriptions to the amount desired. The Parish 
on the 29th of the same month, thanked the committee for 
their successful efforts, approved of the appointment of Mr. 
Daniel Goodwin as collector, and authorized him to take 
notes in payment of subscriptions, "not to exceed four 
months, with interest added, from the 20th day of September, 
1853, payable at one of the banks in this city." 

The subscriptions were made by ninety-nine different 
individuals, in sums varying from one thousand to twelve 
dollars. It was unfortunate that the time of payments 
was extended over the term of four years, for before this 
period had expired, there had occurred from deaths, 
removals, and failures in business, such an amount that

the full indebtedness of the Parish was not then paid. 
It was reserved to a later day, when an indebtedness of 
nearly the same sum had been incurred, and when the 
Parish was much reduced in numbers, to pay off all the 
obligations resting upon it, and to make it what it had 
never, or certainly for many years, had been, entirely free 
from debt. 

PETER S. CHAUNCEY FUND. 

After the election of Rev. Dr. Burgess as Bishop of 
the Diocese of Maine, and his resignation as Rector of the 
Parish, the Rev. P. S. Chauncey was chosen as his successor. 
He was at this time Rector of Christ Church, at Rye, in the 
Diocese of New York. He had been strongly recommended 
by several of the clergy, and was favorably reported on by 
two different committees ; as far as testimony could go, and 
from such knowledge as men can acquire from special visits, 
it seemed as if he would be an acceptable successor. It was 
unfortunate for him that he came after a very able man, who, 
through all of his connection with the Parish, had been 
held in the highest esteem. Mr. Chauncey was not the 
only clergyman who has suffered from the contrasts 
which unwise people are apt to draw, as often without 
reason as with it. He was a gentleman polished in man- 
ners, pleasant with his people, kind to all, and attentive 
to his duties. He had those qualities of heart and head 
which ought to have made him acceptable. He was of 
a sensitive nature, and could not well bear the reports 
which occasionally came to his ears, which produced 
such unpleasant feelings, that on Nov. 17, 1849, he sent 
his resignation as Rector of the Parish to take effect on 
the succeeding Easter. By a large majority, he was requested 
to withdraw it, but respectfully declined. The spirit of Com- 
modore Chaimcey, the father, had an abiding place in the 
breast of the clergyman, his son. 

At a Parish Meeting held February 5, 1850, his resig- 
nation was further considered, and accepted, with ex- 
pressions of regret and aft'ection for him, and a resolution 
was passed, " That the Treasurer be authorized and 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 121 

directed, to pa)^ to Mr. Chauncey, his accustomed salary 
(being $500),^ up to the first of August next." And further, 
" That the Treasurer be and he is hereby authorized to pay 
the Rev. P. S. Chauncey the sum of fifty dollars, being the 
amount paid by him, for an assessment against Christ Church 
Parish, for the erection of a monument to the memory of 
the late Rt. Rev. Bishop Seabury at St. James Church, New 
London." 

This preliminary history seems to be necessary to un- 
derstand fully the action of the Parish, and the Rector, who 
sent the following communication, April i, 1850. 

" To the Parish of Christ Church, Hartford : 

Gentlemen: — I beg most respectfully to give you notice of my 
desire to present to the Parish the sum of five hundred and fifty dollars, 
voted to me on the 5th of February last, over and above the amount of 
the salary due me this day. The only conditions I wish to impose are 
expressed in the request that this sum may be invested to the best advan- 
tage, and the interest thereon be annually paid on Easter Monday, to the 
Rector of Christ Church, to be expended under his direction, for the ben- 
efit of poor communicants of said Church. I have requested a legal gen- 
tleman of your Parish to prepare such papers as may be necessary, to 
give this transaction (if you shall be pleased to accej^t my humble gift) a 
sufficiently binding character. 

" With my best wishes for your prosperity as a Parish, and as 
individuals, I am. 

Gentlemen, with great respect. 

Your friend and servant, 

P. S. Chauncey." 
It was then — 

" Voted, That the Parish do hereby accept the siim of Five 
Hundred and Fifty dollars on the terms proposed in the foregoing com- 
munication, and that the thanks of the Parish be presented to Mr. 
Chauncey for the same." 

There is no record on the Treasurer's book that this sum 
of Five Httndred and Fifty dollars was ever paid to Mr. 
Chauncey, the last entry concerning him being on April 4, 
1850, for the amount due him for his salary on the ist instant. 
It probably never was actually paid, nor is it now known 
whether any papers were ever drawn by the " legal gentle- 



122 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

man," or were ever sig-ned. We cannot find from the Treas- 
urer's account, that Five Hundred and Fifty dollars was sent 
to Mr. Chauncey ; Mr. Nichols was so careful and accurate 
in his accounts, that any such sum would appear if it had 
been paid. 

But it was fully recognized as an obligation resting upon 
the Parish, and the Treasurer, in presenting his estimates of 
receipts and expenses for the year 1852, mentions the " inter- 
est due on the donation of Rev. Mr. Chauncey, on five hun- 
dred dollars for one year." Further, the interest, thirty 
dollars, was paid for ten years, that is to 1861 inclusive, to 
the Rev. Thos. M. Clark and Rev. R. M. Abercrombie, 
rectors of the Parish, during that time. Why the payments 
were discontinued is not known, but up to the present none 
have been made to the succeeding rectors. Nor is it known 
why the sum of Fifty dollars which was voted to Mr. 
Chauncey, and was included in his gift, was not also put upon 
interest. 

There has happened to this Fund the same that hap- 
pened to the Episcopal Church Fund, as has been re- 
lated. By being absorbed or neglected it has been lost to 
sight, and almost to remembrance. Its life as a distinct 
Fund has gone, and even the promised interest upon it is 
forgotten. This is likely to be the case with all Funds 
so treated, which the Parish borrows and uses for its 
temporary purposes, even if they are not diverted from their 
original design. 

It is certainly proper that the Parish should, as soon as 
possible, pay to this Chauncey Fund the sum of five hundred 
and fifty dollars, and then comply with the conditions men- 
tioned by the donor. It is not less due to his memory than 
it is to the honor of the Parish. He died December 14, 1S66, 
and was at that time Rector of St. James Church, New York 
city. 

Since the above was written, a member of the Parish 
and a friend of Mr. Chauncey has given to the Parish the 
sum of five hundred and fifty dollars for the purpose 
of reviving the Fund, and giving it life again. 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 123 

FLOWER FUND. 

At a Vestry meeting December 5, 1866, the donation 
of Mrs. Ann Flower, widow of Ebenezer Flower, was accepted 
upon the terms and conditions contained in the following 
document, viz.: 

" This Agreement made this 5th day of December, A.D. 1866, b}' and 
between Nancy Flower, of the City, Town, and County of Hartford, 
Conn., of the one part, and the Rector and Wardens of Christ Church of 
said Hartford of the other part, witnesses that, 

" Whe7'eas, the Hon. Ebenezer Flower, late of Hartford, deC^, in 
his life time expressed a desire that the said Nancy, his wife, should give 
to the Rector and Wardens of Christ Church Parish, their successors and 
assigns, the sum of fifteen hundred dollars upon the trusts herein after 
set forth, and that the said Nancy is desirous of carrying out the wishes of 
her late husband. 

" Now, therefore, the said Nancy Flower does hereby pay over to the 
Rector and Wardens of Christ Church Parish the sum of fifteen hundred 
dollars, to be held and used by them, their successors and assigns, as a 
perpetual Fund, upon the trusts following, viz. : They shall invest the 
same in good interest or dividend paying securities or property, and shall 
annually appropriate the income, interest, or dividends of five hundred 
dollars to keep in good repair and condition the cemetery lot in Spring 
Grove Cemetery, belonging to said Ebenezer Flower, and the monu- 
ments thereon, and preserving the same from waste and deterioration, 
and the income of the remaining ten hundred dollars they shall distribute 
from time to time to and among the poor widows and orphans of the 
Parish of said Christ Church as their wants and necessities may require, 
trusting to their discretion and good judgment to relieve only such as are 
worthy as well as needy. And if the entire income of the five hundred 
dollars shall not be needed for the purposes herein s'pecified, the balance 
may be appropriated for the use of the widows and orphans as 
aforesaid. 

"And the said Rector and Wardens do hereby accept said gift of 
fifteen hundred dollars for the purposes aforesaid, and in consideration 
thereof do covenant and agree, with said Nancy Flower, that they and 
their successors forever will keep said sum of fifteen hundred dollars 
as a perpetual fund, and will invest the same, and use and appropriate 
the income of said sums in the manner above set forth, viz.: the in- 
come and dividends of five hundred dollars to the repair and preserv- 
ing of the burial lot, and the income of the remainder, and unexpended 
income of the ten hundred dollars if any, to the poor widows and 
orphans of the Parish of Christ Church, and will faithfully carry out 
the provisions of said trusts according to its terms and conditions.

Christ Church Parish." 



The following- is taken from the Records of the Parish, 
as explaining the investments of the Fund: 

"At a Vestry meeting, March 11, 1867, 

" Mr. Northam informed tlie Vestry that the Flower Fund was in- 
vested as follows: one thousand dollars in a bond of the City of Hartford, 
and five hundred dollars in a bond of the State of Connecticut." 

" At a Vestry meeting, February 10, 1872, 

" The opinion of the Vestry having been asked by the Wardens, it 
was voted that they be advised to invest the Flower Fund so called, in 
the purchase of the fee or reversion of the Ellsworth lot so called, upon 
which the chapel and other buildings stand, and of which the Parish 
holds a lease for the term of nine hundred and ninety-nine years from the 
first day of April, 1798, at an annual rent of ninety-three dollars. [Afe>/i. 
The fee, as above, was purchased. Deed on file.] " 

"The parish having used five hundred dollars belonging to this Fund 
in payment of its current expenses, it was, April 10, 1S82, 

*' Voted, That five hundred dollars be appropriated to the Flower 
Fund, to make good a like sum borrowed from the Fund." 

The above five hundred dollars has not, since the above 
date, viz.: April 10, 1882, been invested otherwise than as a 
special deposit fund in the Security Company, where it now 
is, and draws interest at the rate of four per cent, per annum. 
Your committee respectfully suggest that a deposit like this 
is hardly the "perpetual fund" which the donor probably 
intended. Though the special deposit in the Security Com- 
pany is legalized by the 3d section of its charter, yet it is 
doubtful if it meets the common idea of the permanent in- 
vestment of a Trust Fund. The agreement between the 
parties for the safe keeping of the principal, for its repay- 
ment, and for a moderate income from the same, is perfectly 
fair and proper, for a comparatively moderate length of time, 
until the trustee can obtain something more of benefit to the 
Trust. 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 12$ 

It will be noticed that the agreement was made between 
Anne Flower and the Rector and Wardens of Christ Church; 
they are to receive the siim of fifteen hundred dollars, to 
invest it, to receive the income, and to pay it out for specific 
purposes. This was done in the early history of the Fund, 
as will be seen from the statement of Mr. Northam, Senior 
Warden, in 1867; and further again in 1872, when a change 
of the investments was made. Why it passed out of the 
hands of the Rector and Wardens, the legal guardians, into 
the hands of the Treasurer of the Parish, is not known. 
The Treasurer is nowhere mentioned in the agreement as a 
person having any thing to do with this Fund; he is not 
mentioned at all. It is not a question whether it would be 
better managed by him, the natural manager and custodian 
of its finances, but whether some other persons, here men- 
tioned as the "Rector and Wardens," are not specifically ap- 
pointed to receive, to invest, and to pay over the income. 
Here is where the authority of the Fund lies, and to the 
Rector and Wardens we must look for its proper control and 
management. 

It has been the intention of your committee in this inves- 
tigation concerning the funds of the parish to present their 
history exactly as we found it. It is not for the purpose of 
finding fault, or of blaming any one, that we have been crit- 
ical, but only that we might bring together the different 
funds, explain their origin and administration, and endeavor 
to correct errors if errors there had been. To many in the 
parish the very existence of some of these funds was un- 
known; some of them had, perhaps, passed out of legal 
existence, certainly of common remembrance. This ought 
not to be, if everything concerning its finances was made 
known at the annual parish meeting. Then we should 
receive, not the report of the Treasurer of the parish alone, 
but of the Rector and Wardens, and of all who have been 
engaged in receiving and paying out the money of the cor- 
poration. 

We recommend that the assets of the Flower Fund be 
paid over to the appointed custodians, viz.: the Rector and 



126 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Wardens, and that they assume the management of the 
same, and that $500, now on deposit in the Security Com- 
pany, be invested in the name of the " Flower Fund of Christ 
Church," by the above Trustees, in a mortgage upon im- 
proved real estate of at least double the amount loaned. 

THE ADAMS FUND. 

Chester Adams was born February 23, 1805, and was the 
son of William Adams and Electa (Roberts) Adams, who 
resided on the eastern slope of Talcott Mountain, in the town 
of Bloomfield. His parents were Episcopalians, and at- 
tended at St. Andrew's Church. He came to Hartford in 
1827, and was keeper of the county jail for ten years. He 
successively filled the office of constable and deputy sheriff, 
for nine years, and deputy marshal for the district of Con- 
necticut. In his autobiography he says, " My life to 185 1 was 
mostly official," and that he at this time estimated himself to 
be worth about seventy-five thousand dollars, and that he 
thought there was due to him a time for rest from active 
business. 

But he was not long to be disengaged, for by his prudence 
and energy he had attracted the attention of business men, 
and was sought out by Mr. William H. Imlay, who desired 
his assistance in his complicated affairs. In this position 
he was engaged for many years, and by his knowledge of 
business and sound common sense, succeeded in makine 
much more valuable the large investment of Mr. Imlay in 
the pine lands of Michigan. A portion of these subse- 
quently came into his possession, but it was through such trials 
and difficulties as would have broken down an ordinary man. 
He was long a member of Christ Church, and was vestryman 
and warden for a number of years; was of decided religious 
feelings, and a punctual attendant upon public worship. He 
was so much of a Churchman that he was "content to do his 
duty in that state of life in which God had called him." 

By his will, dated March 28, 1868, he gave to the Parish of 
Christ Church the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars, the income 
of the same to be used for the poor of the parish. 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 12/ 

The specific bequest is a part of the eighth section, and 
is as follows: — 

" I give and bequeath to the Parish of Christ Church, in Hartford, the 
sum of ten thousand dollars; I give and bequeath to the Parish of St. 
Andrew's Church, in Bloomfield, the sum of five thousand dollars. The 
said last two legacies are given to said respective parishes upon the fol- 
lowing trusts, and for the following uses and purposes: the income only 
of said last two mentioned respective legacies is to be annually paid and 
distributed, by said respective Parishes, to and among the worthy 
and deserving poor people of each respective Parish, under the direction, 
control, and supervision of the Wardens and Rector of the respective 
Parishes. In case there shall be no Rector in said respective Parishes, 
then to be distributed under the direction of the Wardens in said Parish. 
I direct that the principal of said last two mentioned respective legacies 
shall be preserved undiminished, and desire that the fund shall be in- 
vested, if necessary sold and reinvested, managed, and controlled, by the 
Wardens of the respective Parishes." 

The legacies were directed to be paid in full, free from 
legacy tax. 

Mr. Adams died suddenly of apoplexy, July 6, 1870, and 
his will was admitted to probate on the thirteenth of the 
same month. " The inventory of the estate was filed Sept. 
29, 1S70. The executors of the estate, in their account filed 
January, 1872, charge on July 24, 187 1, $10,000 paid Christ 
Church Parish. This was presumably in cash, as it is entered 
in their account as such." At a Vestry meeting held Feb. 
10, 1872, a notice of the legacy was read and entered on the 
records, and " the Wardens were advised to invest the Adams 
Fund in a good note or bond, secured by mortgage on real 
estate." 

March 13, 1872, it was loaned to Newton Carter, a vestr}'-- 
man, and was secured by a mortgage upon ten acres of land, 
more or less, together with the buildings thereon, situated on 
Vine .Street, on its east side, about one mile and a half from 
the present City Hall. The valuation placed upon it by Mr. 
Carter was seventeen thousand dollars. The land was irreg- 
ular in surface and under poor cultivation. Gully brook ran 
through the lower part of it. The buildings consisted of a 
dwelling house, needing repairs; an old barn, with old sheds; 



128 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD 



a large barn in good condition excepting the cellar walls, and 
two tobacco sheds. 

Mr. Carter resided near this property, and was the owner 
of much land in this part of the town. A speculative move- 
ment in new streets and building lots had directed public 
attention somewhat this way, and undoubtedly magnified 
the importance of this security in the eyes of both borrower 
and lender. 

Mr. Carter was a man of pleasant disposition and 
engaging manners, quiet in his intercourse with people, 
seeking no public office or notoriet}^ but finding plenty 
of work in attending to his own affairs. He was a mem- 
ber of the Parish and also of the Vestry, and was liberal 
in his contributions for church purposes. It is to his 
credit that he contributed liberally towards the payment 
of the debt in 1876, the last debt, it is hoped, which will 
ever exist against this Parish. The interest on the loan, 
$600 per annum, was paid by him and was distributed in 
accordance with the directions of the will. After his 
death it was continued by his executors for a short time, 
but further payments were soon refused, and the Parish 
was obliged to take possession of the property. It was 
offered for sale at auction, and was purchased by Mr. 
F. A. Lane. It was afterwards quitclaimed by him to 
the Parish : this course was taken by legal advice. 

A tobacco shed was burned in 1881, on which an in- 
surance of eight hundred dollars was received. Another 
shed was blown down in a gale in 1882 and was of no 
great value, the old lumber and stones being sold for 
about fifty dollars. 

The place was rented by Mr. Lane for one year from 
April I, 1880. It has been leased and occupied by Mr. 
J. S. Birden ever since. To show that it has not been a 
profitable investment for the Parish, it may be noted that 
while in April, 1888, there was in the Savings Society to 
its credit a little over twenty-five hundred dollars, that 
there is now in the same institution $3,441.90. The rent 
of two hundred and fifty dollars per year has been 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 1 29 

promptly paid, but the expenses have been so great for 
repairs, insurance, etc., that but a small part of the 
income could be added to the principal. It has been 
through no fault of the trustees that more has not been 
realized, but the dilapidated condition of the buildings 
rendered the expenditures necessary. 

Our title to the property is clear and good, and it can 
be sold at any time after the expiration of the annual 
lease, which expires on the 31st of March next, if it was 
so desired and a purchaser could be found. An offer, 
and the only one which has ever been presented, was 
made of five thousand dollars, some years since, soon 
after a lease of six years had been given. The buildings 
being in better condition than formerly, the property 
should bring something more now, and with the cash in 
bank the fund would soon be made up to the original 
amount, and the income would be available for the intent 
of the testator. This is due to him as a recognition of 
his good will, and is due to ourselves as showing that we 
have endeavored to keep our faith in the trust coinmitted 
to us. 

As an investment it has not been a success. It was 
not situated in a particularly growing neighborhood, 
and was too far from the center of the town to be 
affected by a probable increase in value for some years. 
The estimate ($17,000) which Mr. Carter placed upon 
it, was too large for the prudence of a careful inves- 
tor, and not large enough for an investment of trust 
funds, nor was it ever likely to be a satisfactory in- 
vestment, satisfactory as to payment of principal and 
interest ; it could hardly be termed " a loan upon im- 
proved real estate, and so, when there came a time 
of trial, there was a collapse, a diminution of values, 
and a serious impairment of the Fund. 

The securit}^ of the investment of trust funds should 

demand the serious consideration of all who are engaged in 

their management. Many of them are composed of the last 

earthly gifts of men and women, who can no longer watch or 

9

control them ; they become the pious offerings of hearts 
softened by a contemplation of death, or affected by a desire 
to help the sick and the poor, who may live after them. The 
trust, therefore, becomes, in a sense, a sacred one, demanding 
our consideration of it, beyond that of an ordinary business 
venture. Whatever an individual might think was allowable 
to himself in speculative investments, should never be applied 
to these trust funds. Nor should any tempting high rate of 
interest influence him to make or assent to loans which are 
not in their character as safe as can be made. In all the 
trusts which belong to religious societies, benevolent associa- 
tions, hospitals, and the like, a safe security for the principal 
should be the first object, and the rate of interest the second. 

Notwithstanding all our prudence, there will be losses 
which we cannot escape, and which no foresight could 
have anticipated. These should not trouble us or lead us 
to blame others or ourselves. It is those losses which might 
have been avoided, that become the most grievous. 

This matter has been dwelt upon in this connection, as 
being proper in a consideration of all of our funds, and not 
for the purpose of impeaching the integrity or want of faith- 
fulness of those who have been concerned in their manage- 
ment. The Parish needs and will continue to need all which 
has been given for its support, and we must see that none of 
it is lost, through any lack of care by ourselves. 

Mr. Matson says, after an examination of the executors' 
account, at the probate office, that " the executors of Chester 
Adams in their account filed in January, 1872, charge on July 
24th, 187 1, $10,000 paid to Christ Church Parish. This was 
presumably in cash, as it is entered into their account as 
such." There have been reports that it was paid in bonds of 
the United States, but there is no record evidence that such 
was the case. The first recognition of it was at a Vestry 
meeting February 10, 1872, when a notice of the legacy was 
read, and entered on the records, and " the Wardens were 
advised to invest the Adams Fund in a good note or bond, 
secured by mortgage on real estate," and it was so invested 
on March 13th of the same year. Any account of the Fund 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 131 

does not appear on the Treasurer's book, as it was placed in 
the hands of the Wardens, and is under their management. 
It is very proper, however, that they should make a 
statement of the condition of the Fund to each annual meet- 
ing- of the Parish, showing that they have complied with the 
intent of the testator. This is not only proper as a mat- 
ter of business, but it keeps in mind the knowledge and value 
of the generous gift. 

The income from the Fund was used for the poor of the 
Parish, as is well known, but we have found no record of 
it, until 1880. Since that time all the receipts and ex- 
penditures have been kept in a book which passes from 
the hands of the Wardens to their successors, so that the 
condition of the Fund can be ascertained at any time. 
The management of it has been attended with considerable 
labor and vexation. 

BROWNELL MEMORIAL FUND. - 

This Fund now amounts to $143.06, and is deposited 
in the State Savings Bank. Dr. G. W. Russell is the 
present Trustee. The history is told in the following minute, 
which is found in the bank book : 

"This Fund — originating in the offertory on the occasion of 
the re-opening of the Church, after additions, Dec. 23, 1S79, the 
Semi-Centennial of the Consecration of the present church edi- 
fice — is intended for a memorial tablet of some ^sort, to the late 
Bishop Brownell, when sufficient money has been raised for that 
purpose. W. F. Nichols." 

When Mr. Nichols left the Parish the present Trustee 
was appointed by him. No addition has been made to the 
principal since 1883, except the annual interest. 

A plan was in contemplation some years since, for placing 
a bust of Bishop Brownell in the west wall of the church, but 
it came to naught. 



132 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

CHARLES H. NORTHAM FUND. 

Colonel Northam was long a member and communicant of 
the Parish, was zealous and much interested in its work, and had 
in various ways contributed to its support. His ample means 
and generous nature found their natural outcoine in listening 
favorably to the appeals which were often made to him. 
"Well, doctor," said he to one of your committee, "what is 
wanted now, you are only the fifth who has called this morn- 
ing for church purposes." He was well acquainted with the 
history of the Episcopal Church Fund, and felt that the man- 
agement of it had been injudicious, and greatly feared that 
its existence as a fund was lost. He instituted enquiries for 
the Scrip of which we have spoken, but was unable to find it. 
When he made his will, August 11, 1877, he gave ten thou- 
sand dollars to the parish, by the fifteenth section of the same, 
of which the following is a copy : — 

" I give and bequeath to the Parish of Christ Church of Hartford, 
where it has been my privilege to worship for many years, the sum of ten 
thousand dollars ($10,000), the same to be securely invested in loans, 
secured by mortgages of unencumbered real estate, and the income thereof 
to be applied to the maintenance and support of public worship in said 
Parish, according to the established forms and usages of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church." 

But this is not the authority under which we possess, for 
it was revoked by a codicil dated April 19, 1880, which is here 
given: — 

''Second, I hereby revoke, cancel, and annul, the fifteenth clause of 
my said will, wherein the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), is given 
to the Parish of Christ Church, and in lieu thereof I do hereby give and 
bequeath to the Security Company, a body politic and corporate under 
the laws of the State of Connecticut, and having its office and place of do- 
ing business in said Hai'tford, the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), 
intrust, and for the uses and purposes following, viz. — to invest said 
sum in loans secured by mortgage upon improved and unincumbered real 
estate, and to pay out the net income thereof to the person who for the 
time being shall be the Treasurer of the Parish of Christ Church, a cor- 
poration located in said Hartford, said income to be by him, the said 
Treasurer, applied and expended for the support and maintenance of 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 133 

public worship in said Parish, according to tlie forms and usages of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church." 

It will be seen that the codicil of 1880 is quite different 
from the clause in the will of 1877, which gave the money 
directly to the Parish, so that, as it now stands, the legacy is 
held by the Secm-ity Company in trust, the net income being 
paid to the treasurer of the Parish. This has been done 
regularly in each year up to the present time, and it has been 
used in paying parish expenses. 

It is proper, as a part of the history of this fund, that the 
action of the Parish, April 10, 1882, should here be inserted. 
This action was taken, as it was supposed that Col. Northam 
intended that his legacy should take the place of the Episco- 
pal Church Fund. 

" W/iereas, our late parishioner, Mr. Charles Harvey Northam, did in 
his last will and testament provide that his Executors should pay the 
sum of ten thousand dollars to be held in trust, ' for the support and 
maintenance of public worship in Christ Church,' and 

" Whereas, Mr. Northam, in a conversation held with the Rector in 
the Directors' room of the Mercantile Bank, on Saturday morning, March 
26, 1S81, did make reference to the Fund formerly possessed by the 
Parish, known as the ' Episcopal Church Fund,' but not now in existence, 
and say, ' I have provided that that amount shall be made up to the 
Parish when I am under the sod; ' therefore, 

''Resolved, That we place on our Records this recognition of the gen- 
erosity of the gift, which was in keeping with his generosity and rare 
nobility of character, throughout the half century of his connection with 
Christ Church, and this testimony to the deep sense of Parish honor in 

« 

the wish and intent, verbally expressed, on the occasion referred to in 
March, 1881. 

"Resolved, That the income from the Fund left by Mr. Northam, be 
considered in lieu of the income of said ' Episcopal Church Fund,' and 
that the Wardens and Vestry be a committee with power to appro- 
priate said income to such maintenance or extension of parish usefulness 
as may in their judgment be best." « 

A question may arise as to the binding character of the 
conversation of Mr. Northam with Rev. Mr. Nichols. There 
can be no doubt but that he said what is reported, that is, " I 
have provided that that amount " (referring to the Episco- 
pal Church Fund) " shall be made up to the Parish, when I 



134 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

am under the sod." He felt quite warmly about the diversion 
of the fund from its original intent, and was anxious to re- 
store it if possible. This, it will be remembered, amounted 
to $8,500 when it was invested in the church building. He 
had searched for the Scrip, or evidence of indebtedness, in 
vain, and regarded it as lost. Probably he would have given 
a like legacy if the fund had been in existence, for his gen- 
erosity was great. But his jealousy for the honor of the 
Parish was such that he wished to remove any possible re- 
proach that might have been made in the investment. 

It will be observed that neither in the fifteenth clause of 
the will of 1877, nor in the codicil of 18&0 which repeals it, is 
there any mention made of the Episcopal Church Fund, or of 
his desire to make his legacy a substitute for it. So that it 
would seem to be a matter for the courts to decide, whether 
this gift could be made to take the place of this fund, and 
thus bring it into existence again. 

Whether this Episcopal Church Fund has lapsed, and has 
now no existence, is argued elsewhere; but it is well to con- 
sider some of the conditions of the Episcopal Church Fund, 
as defined in its Constitution, and also the conditions which 
are attached to the bequest of Mr. Northam. And first, this 
fund was legally constituted by the above name by the Gen- 
eral Assembly ; the Wardens and Vestry were its legal 
guardians, under the name of the Trustees of the Episcopal 
Church Fund; they had the management of the same, and 
they alone. When the Wardens and Vestry requested Mr. 
Huntington to deliver the Scrip of the fund. No. 28, to the 
treasurer, he declined, as the Wardens and Vestry had not 
met as trustees of the fund, and the treasurer of the Parish 
was not the manager of it. When they did so meet and re- 
quest that it should be delivered to Mr. Preston, it was so 
done and deposited in the Phoenix Bank, where it was lately 
found, as has been related. Thus it is shown that the trus- 
tees are alone empowered to invest the fund and pay over ijts 
income to the Parish. 

Second. It is shown by the codicil of the will that the 
Security Company was to receive the legacy, was to invest it. 



REPORT ON FUNDS. I35 

and pay the net income to the Treasurer of the Parish, con- 
ditions entirely different from those belonging to the admin- 
istration of the Episcopal Church Fund, taking its manage- 
ment out of the hands of the Trustees, and placing it in 
another corporation. Both of these are legally constituted, 
and have specific duties to perform, and one cannot usurp or 
take the place of the other. Inextricable confusion would 
occur if such was to be allowed. The intent, as verbally ex- 
pressed by Mr. Northam, is of value, but when he directs the 
legacy to be paid to the Security Company, to be man- 
aged by it, to receive and pay over its income to the Treas- 
urer of the Parish, it is beyond his power or legal ability to 
place it elsewhere, because it constitutes a condition incom- 
patible with the administration of the Church Fund, 

Nor can the parish create any new conditions concerning 
this legacy, nor can it substitute this gift for the eighty-five 
hundred dollars which was loaned it and invested in the 
church building; the terms of the legacy are fixed, and be- 
yond the possibility of recall. The intent of Mr. Northam 
was noble, and is deserving of commendation beyond the 
mere giving of money. It contemplated the reviving of a 
fund which had disappeared, not been actually lost or de- 
stroyed, but had disappeared and been forgotten, except by 
himself and a few others. It was, therefore, very honorable 
in him to make such a gift as would bring it to remembrance 
again, even if it did not revive it. 

The examination of the mortgages and the witness of 
their assignment by the Security Company to the Charles H. 
Northam Fund and the Susan R. Northam Fund, of Christ 
Church, was made by Mr. Taylor, who adds: 

The Charles H. Northam Fund and the vSusan R. Northam 
Fund, of $10,000 each, under the provisions of the wills of 
the donors, are held in trust by the Security Company of this 
city, for Christ Church Parish. The funds are invested in 
real estate mortgages; and the title to those mortgages is 
held by the Security Company, as trustee for the parish; and 
the Committee have verified the present securities under the 
trust, through the courtesy of the Vice-President and Treas- 



136 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

urer of the Security Company, who prepared a schedule of 
the present investments. These investments are continually 
changing, as the mortgages mature and become payable ; 
and the schedule offered is, therefore, simply an inventory of 
the investments as they appear at this time, and subject to 
future changes. 

The mortgages are upon western farms, and the interest 
seems generally to have been regularly paid. The schedule 
is held by the committee. 

THE SUSAN R. NORTHAM FUND. 

She was the daughter of George R. and Jerusha (Ed- 
wards) Risley, and was born at Montpelier, Vermont, in 
1809. Her parents not long afterwards removed to East 
Hartford, where she was married to Col. Charles H. Nor- 
tham in 1828. She died November 27, 1S83. 

She was of a quiet, loving disposition, and the lives of 
both husband and wife were passed in as much happiness 
as falls to most mortals. She generously remembered the 
Parish with which she had long been connected, as is shown 
by her will, dated September 20, 1882: 

" Thirteenth. I give and bequeath to the Security Company, a body 
corporate organized under the laws of Connecticut, and located at 
Hartford, in said State, the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000), in 
trust, and for the following uses and purposes, viz. : to invest said sum 
in loans secured by mortgage of improved real estate, free of prior 
incumbrances, and to pay over the net income thereof to the person 
who, for the time being, shall be the Treasurer of the Parish of 
Christ Church, a corporation located in Hartford, said income to be 
by him, the said treasurer, applied and expended for the support and 
maintenance of public worship in said parish, according to the forms 
and usages of the Protestant Episcopal Church." 

MARY GOODWIN FUND. 

At a Parish meeting held April 18, 1881, the Rector 
read the following letter: 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 1 37 

" Hartford, March 20, 1S81. 
" To the Rector, Wardens, and Vestry of Christ Church Parish, 

Hartford, Conn. 

"Dear Sir, — We enclose herewith a copy of the agreement of 
Lucy M., James J., and Francis Goodwin, dated March 25th, 1881, to 
convey to the Trustees of Donations and Bequests for Church Pur- 
poses of this diocese ($5,000) five thousand dollars, to be known as the 
' Mai-y Goodwin Fund,' the interest of which is to be paid each year 
to Christ Church Parish for the cleaning and care of the Chapel and 
Parish Building according to the terms of said agreement. We beg 
now to inform you that the said $5,000 has been handed to said 
Trustees, and that they have accepted or will accept the Trust. We 
should be glad to receive your acceptance of the conditions of this 
agreement. 

"Yours very truly, 

Copy. "J. J. & F. Goodwin." 

"Whereas it was the wish of Mary Goodwin, late of Hartford, 
Conn., who departed this life on the 28th day of October, A. D. 1880, 
that some provision should be made to have the building known as 
the Chapel and Parish Building of Christ Church in said Hartford 
kept with particular care, so that it might be at all times perfectly 
clean and ready for rise — Now therefore 

"Know all Men by these Presents: 

" That we, Lucy M. Goodwin, James J. Goodwin, and Francis 
Goodwin, all of the City and County of Hartford, and State of Con- 
necticut, in consideration of our regard for the interests of the Parish 
of Christ Church in said Hartford, and in compliance with the wish 
of the late Mary Goodwin, deceased, do hereby give, grant, and con- 
vey unto ' The Trustees of Donations and Bequests for Church Pur- 
poses,' a corporation duly organized under the Laws of the State of 
Connecticut, the sum of five thousand dollars, to be held by them, the 
said corporation, as perpetual fund, to be known as the ' Mary Good- 
win Fund,' in the manner and for the purposes hereinafter set forth. 
First, The said corporation shall hold the said Fund as provided in 
the act of its incorporation and the amendments thereto, and shall 
have full power to retain all or any part of said Fund in the invest- 
ments existing at the time of its endowment, or may sell, convert, 
exchange, invest, and reinvest the same, or any part thereof from 
time to time in their discretion, and in such securities as the said 
Trustees may deem for the best interests of the Fund, having regard 
to the safety rather than a high rate of interest. Second, The said 
Trustees shall, within sixty days after Easter in each year, pay out 
of the income of said Fund to the Parish of Christ Church, in said 



138 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

City of Hartford, such sum as said Parish shall have expended during 
the previous year, ending at Easter, in cleaning the building situated 
on Church street in said Hartford, and known as the Chapel and 
Parish Building of Christ Church, being the building recently erected 
at the joint expense of the said Lucy M. and Mary Goodwin, and 
now held in trust by the said Trustees of Donations and Bequests, 
the conditions of this payment being that the said Parish shall certify 
to the satisfaction of said Trustees, that the said building has, during 
the time for which payment is claimed, been kept at all times in per- 
fect order, and ready for use, and that for this purpose the Parish 
has employed a woman to clean said building at least one day in 
each and every week, and so many more days, or parts of days as 
may have been necessary to thoroughly accomplish the aforesaid pur- 
pose, and no payment shall be made from the income of this Fund 
to the Parish of Christ Church, for any purpose whatever unless the 
aforesaid conditions shall have been exactly complied with, and under 
no circumstances shall any payment be made in advance of the time 
specified, nor shall any payment exceed the net income of the Fund 
for the preceding year. 

" Third, If after reimbursing said Parish for the amount ex- 
pended in cleaning said building, there shall remain, of the net in- 
come of this Fund, an unappropriated balance, then the said Trustees 
shall repay the said Parish whatever the said Parish may have ex- 
pended during the preceding year for heating and lighting said 
building, not exceeding, however, the amount of such unappropriated 
balance. 

" Fourth. If for sixty days after Easter the said Parish shall fail 
to claim the net income of this Fund, or shall fail to show to the 
satisfaction of the Trustees, that the aforesaid conditions have been 
complied with, then the said net income shall be added to the princi- 
pal and become part of the permanent Fund, and if in any year the 
net income shall exceed the expenses above enumerated, such excess 
shall also become part of the principal and treated as such. 

'■^ Fifth. The first payment shall be the accrued interest on the 
investment to May ist, 1881, and shall be paid to the same Parish 
within thirty days thereafter. 

" Sixth. If said building shall at any time be destroyed and not 
rebuilt, or if from any cause said Parish shall abandon its use, then 
the net income of said Fund shall be annually applied to such benev- 
olent or missionary object in the City of Hartford as the said Trus- 
tees, for the time being, shall determine by a major vote of the 
entire Board. 

''Seventh. If from any cause the principal of said Fund shall 
become impaired so as to fall below the original amount, the pay-

ments shall be omitted, and the income added to the principal until 
such time as the impairment be made good.

this 25th day of March, A. D. 1881.

"Witness, E. L. Gaylord." 

" Voted, That this Parish accept the generous Gift, and that the 
Rector and Wardens be appointed a committee to prepare and pre- 
sent a suitable letter of acknowledgment." 

It is believed that the Parish has endeavored to carry- 
out faithfully its part of the contract. If the building has 
not always been kept in perfect neatness it may be due 
to the conditions for which it is used. The many different 
organizations which meet in it every week and sometimes 
a number of them in one day, one following the other in 
such rapid succession that the dirt or rubbish of one can- 
not be removed before that of another is added to it, 
jorevents that perfect neatness which can be found in a 
private home. It has been the endeavor, as some of us 
know, to keep the Chapel as neat as was possible, and in 
as becoming condition as is fit for any house of public 
worship. Though not specially consecrated it has been 
set aside for different religious exercises connected with 
the Parish, and it is due that it should be treated with 
proper reverence. It is not a place of amusement, or for 
loimgers, or boisterous romping, or for idle gossip. The 
Chapel and Parish building- become parts of a system of 
Christian worship and Christian duty which the Parish 
has undertaken to do. It accommodates exceedingly well 
the various organizations which meet in it and are carry- 
ing on our parish work. The thoughtful consideration 
which made it so valuable, should ever make us thankful 
to the donors and lead us to respect it as devoted to a 
holy and serious use. 

According to the report of the Trustees of " Donations 
and Bequests for Church Purposes " made to the Convention 



I40 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

of the Diocese for 1S93, the investment consists of five of the 
Chicago & Western Indiana R. R. bonds. 

Mary Goodwin was the daughter of James and Lucy 
(Morgan) Goodwin, was born April 9, 1846, and died October 
28, 1880. She was of a most amiable and loving disposition, 
of decidedly religious character, and much interested in all 
Parish work. 

GRACE TUTTLE FUND. 

Grace Tuttle was the daughter of William F. and Sarah 
(Ramsey) Tuttle. She was born Dec. 16, 1846, and died Jan. 
31, 1883, and was much interested in the Sunday-school, 
having been for some time one of its teachers. The follow- 
ing is taken from the Parish records: 

" At a Parish meeting March 26, 18S3. The Rector read a letter from 
Jane Tuttle, donating the sum of four hundred dollars to the Parish of 
Christ Church, in memory of her sister, Grace Tuttle, and to be known 
as the ' Grace Tuttle Fund,' the income of the same to be expended 
annually for the benefit of the Sunday-school of said Church. 

" On motion the donation was accepted, and the Clerk was requested 
to notify Miss Tuttle of the same." 

This Fund is deposited in the Security Company, at four 
per cent, per annum, and the interest is paid semi-annually 
by the Treasurer of the Parish to the Treasurer of the Sun- 
day-school. It was left with the Treasurer of the Parish by 
Mr. Wm. F. Tuttle, with no special instructions, but with the 
expectation that it would be invested in a bond or mortgage 
upon improved real estate, which we advise to be done. 

OPEN HEARTH FUND. 

This was created by a donation of six thousand dollars 
($6,000) from Mrs. Lucy M. Goodwin, and is explained by the 
following from the Parish records: 

"At a Vestry meeting, April 7, 1890, the following letter was read by 
the Rector : 

" To the Recto?-, Wardens, and Vestry of Christ Church, 

"Gentlemen, — To express the interest I feel in the important mis- 
sionary work at the ' Open Hearth,' I should be glad to give the sum of 



REPORT ON FUNDS. I41 

six thousand dollars to furthering that work, or similar work in the 
parish should this be discontinued. 

" The only condition I would make is, that the principal of the fund 
be always maintained as a trust, and kept distinct from the other funds 
of the parish, and that the Treasurer shall, in his annual report, state 
how it is invested and the manner in which the income has been ex- 
pended. Upon notification that you will accept this trust, I will cause 
the amount to be paid to the Treasurer. 

"LUCY M. GOODWIN. 

"Hartford, April 5, 1890." 

" Voted, that the Wardens and Vestry do accept the trust as proposed 
in the above letter, and that the Rector be requested to notify Mrs. 
Goodwin of their action. William L. Matson and Edw. M. Bunce were 
appointed Trustees of the fund. On motion of George Ellis, Voted, that 
the letter of Mrs. Goodwin be ordered on file, and spread on the minutes 
of this meeting." 

This fund is invested in the Bonds of the Ohio & Chesa- 
peake Railroad, bearing five per cent, interest, and the in- 
come is paid by the Treasurer of the Parish to Mr. George 
Bodge, the Treasurer of the " Open Hearth " corporation. 

MARY JEANNETTE KENEY FUND. 

This Fund was created by Mrs. Mary J. Keney, the wife 
of the late Walter Keney, both born in Hartford, and always 
resident in the same. She was for a long time a communi- 
cant and devoted attendant at public worship, and was per- 
fectly satisfied with the ideas, forms, and usages of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church. The " noveltries which have 
disturbed the peace " of so many of our members obtained no 
sympathy from her. vShe delighted in the Church as it was 
in the early days, and looked upon changes and innovations 
with no favorable eye. With remarkable good sense and 
even temperament, she and her husband both kept their 
attendance at the old Church, were liberal in their contribu- 
tions, faithful in their duties, with malice towards none and 
charity for all. Her remembrance of the Parish so gener- 
ously is a sufficient evidence of the love which she enter- 
tained for it. 



142 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

" At the annual meeting of the Parish of Christ Church, held April 3, 
1893, a letter from James J. Goodwin, being a declaration of trust of the 
Mary Jeannette Keney Fund, was read by tlie Clerk and was ordered to 
be copied on the Records of the Parish, and due notice of their action to 
be certified to him." 

DECLARATIONS. 

"To the Rector, IVardefis, and Vestrymen of Christ Church Corpor- 
ati'ofi. Gentlemen: — 

" I hereby notify you that I hold as Trustee, the sum of Thirty Thou- 
sand dollars ($30,000), the sum being the gift of the late Mrs. Mary Jean- 
nette Keney to me in trust for the benefit of Christ Church upon the 
fohowing terms and conditions, viz. : I am to invest and reinvest said 
sum from time to time, as circumstances may require, according to 
my own judgment and discretion, as a separate and distinct trust fund, 
known and called the ' Alary Jeajinette Keney Fund,' and to pay the net 
income and profits thereof to the treasurer for the time being of said 
Christ Church Corporation on the first Monday of April, in each and 
every year; and said income when so received by said treasurer is to be 
used and appropriated by said Corporation for the support and main- 
tenance of public worship in said Church and Parish, according to the 
established forms and usages of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and 
for no other purpose whatever. 

" I am to hold said funds as such trustee, without bonds or surety, and 
am to nominate and appoint my own successors in said trust, and in case 
of disability or absence to employ my own agent or attorney for the 
transaction of any business connected with said trust. I hereby request 
that this declaration of trust may be copied in the records of said corpor- 
ation, and the fact duly certified to me. 
"Very Respf., 

"JAMES J. GOODWIN, Trustee of 

''■the 'Mary Jeannette Keney Fund.' 

" Hartford, 

" March 15, 1893." 

"At the adjourned annual meeting held April 10, 1893, it was 
" Voted, That the Rector, Senior Warden, and Dr. G. W. Russell be 
appointed a committee to convey to Mr. James J. Goodwin the thanks of 
the Parish for the gift of the fund known as the ' Mary Jeannette Keney 
Fund,' and that the same be entered upon the records of the Parish." 

It will be noticed that the management of this Fund is in 
the hands of Mr. Goodwin, and whoever he may appoint as 
his successor. This relieves the Parish of any care for it, 
save such as would naturally come from an unforeseen in- 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 1 43 

competency of the trustee in the future. And it is well to 
note also, for our own guidance, that the income from this 
Fund " is to be used and appropriated by said corporation for 
the support and maintenance of public worship in said Church 
and Parish, according to the established forms and usages of 
the Protestant Episcopal Church, and for no other purpose 
whatever." 

The directions are so specific, and are so plain, that no rea- 
sonable misapplication of the fund can ever properly occur. 
It is only by that latitudinary construction in interpretation, 
which brings infinite trouble in the administration of civil as 
well as religious affairs, that disturbance is likely to occur. 
When men come to follow the spirit and the letter of the 
law, the subjects of complaint will be greatly diminished, 
and our respect for law itself will be greatly increased. It 
is becoming in churchmen, who stand for so much that is 
fixed by divine command, and enacted by civil authority, to 
allow of no common cause to interfere in a just administra- 
tion of trusts. 

The first payment under this Fund was made in October 
last, and the Fund consists of Chicago, Burlington & Quincy 
ist mtg. Consols, 7 per cent., $10,000 ; New York & New 
England ist mtg. bond, 6 per cent., $5,000 ; Col., Hocking 
Valley & Toledo R. R., 6 per cent., $5,000 ; 126 shares Chi- 
cago & Rock Island R. R., about $8,000 ; cash uninvested, 
about $2,000. 

Mrs. Keney was the daughter of Jam^ and Eunice 
(Roberts) Goodwin. She was born Dec. 6, 1813, and died 
Feb. 7, 1893. She was married to Walter Keney June 3, 
1840. 

ROGERS SCHOLARSHIP IN TRINITY COLLEGE. 

This was established by the late J. Smyth Rogers, M.D., 
for several years professor of chemistry in Washington 
[Trinity] College. He resided when here at the present No. 
159 Farmington Avenue, on the southeast corner of the 
same and Sigourney Street. He is well and favorably re- 



144 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

membered by some of our older residents. After the resig- 
nation of his professorship he returned to New York, where 
he died many years since. The original sum of the Fund 
was four hundred dollars, which was afterwards increased to 
five hundred and fifty by the Trustees of the College. 

The history of this Fund is given as follows, taken from 
the records of the parish : 

" At a meeting of the Trustees of Washington [Trinity] College, 
July 31, 1839 : 

" Whereas, a claim tipon the College by the late Professor of Chem- 
istry, Dr. J. Smyth Rogers, for compensation for various articles 
employed in the Laboratory during his connexion with the College, and 
provided by himself, the value of which articles is estimated by him at 
the sum of four hundred dollars ; and whereas it has been proposed by 
him to remit the said claim on condition that the interest on said sum 
shall be annually appropriated towards the maintenance of a Scholar- 
ship ; therefore 

" Voted, that a Scholarship be hereby founded towards the support of 
which there shall be annually paid by the College, in tuition, the legal 
interest of the sum of four hundred dollars ; and that the right of nomi- 
nation to said Scholarship be vested with the Rector, for the time being, 
of Christ Church, Hartford." 

This Fund was increased by the following action of the 

Trustees of the College, at a meeting held October 6, 1845 : 

''Resolved, That in consideration of the subscriptions from the parish 
of Christ Church, Hartford, towards the erection of the new building, 
the Scholarship heretofore partially founded by Dr. J. S. Rogers, and to 
which the Rector of said Church has the right of nomination, be estab- 
lished as a Scholarship of five hundred and fifty dollars." 

An inquiry of the President of the College concerning 
these scholarships was replied to as follows : 

" As no appointment was made by the Patrons, the obligation of the 
College has been recognized by assigning them (until such time as the 
Christ Church authorities give other orders), the first [J. Smyth Rogers] 
to Frederick MacDonald Goddard of the Sophomore class, son of a 
clergyman of Windsor, Vt., and the second [Burhans] to Horton Gregory 
Ide, a member of the senior class from Boston, Mass." 

It is suggested that, as the right of nomination to the 
J. Smyth Rogers Scholarship vests in the Rector of Christ 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 145 

Church, the candidate should be first mentioned to him ; and 
to the Rector and Wardens in the Burhans Scholarship. If 
there were no candidates from our own Parish, the wishes 
of the College authorities would doubtless be readily ac- 
ceded to. 

BURHANS SCHOLARSHIP IN TRINITY COLLEGE. 

At a meeting of the Trustees of Trinity College, July 19, 
1855, the following resolution was adopted : 

" IVkereas, the Rev. Daniel Burhans, D.D., has made a bequest to 
the College as follows : 

" ' I give and bequeath to the Trustees of Washington College, and 
to their successors forever for the benefit of the Scholarship Society in 
Hartford, the sum of five hundred dollars to be invested upon interest 
with good mortgage security upon real estate until it shall amount to the 
sum of one thousand dollars, unless the said Trustees shall previously 
add thereto such sum permanently invested as shall make the said 
amount of one thousand dollars, and said fund to remain under the con- 
trol of said Trustees and their successors in said office forever under the 
following conditions. Said Trustees and their successors shall appro- 
priate the interest accruing from said fund of $1,000 as they shall deem 
expedient, to such candidates as shall be nominated from time to time by 
the Rector and Wardens of Christ Church, Hartford, and their successors 
forever for aiding in the education of such candidate for orders in said 
Washington College.' Therefore 

''Resolved, That the trust be accepted, and the Treasurer be author- 
ized to invest the fund accor Aingly:'— Extracted from the Records of 
Trinity College, Book /, page 12s. by Charles J. Hoadly, Secretary 
of the Board of Trustees.

HARTFORD HOSPITAL. 

" Hartford, May 7, 1S59. 
"7t' the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church — 
"The late Miles A. Tuttle, having made a bequest to the Hartford 
Hospital, to be appropriated in such a manner as I might direct ; and

Very respectfully, 

GURDON W. RUSSELL." 

" Hartford, April 12, 1859. 
" To the Treasurer of the Hartford Hospital — 

" Whereas, The late Miles A. Tuttle of Hartford, having bequeathed 
to the Hartford Hospital the sum of one thousand dollars, ' to be 
expended for the benefit of said institution, as Dr. G. W. Russell shall 
direct,' and the executors having this day paid to the Treasurer of said 
Hospital the sum of one thousand dollars, now I, Gurdon W. Russell, 
request that the said sum shall be invested and secured by a mortgage 
upon real estate, in the town of Hartford, valiied at least at double the 
amount loaned, and the income thereof to be appropriated for the 
support of such patients as the Rector of Christ Church, in the town of 
Hartford, may direct and approve according to the form of agreement 
submitted herewith. 

GURDON W. RUSSELL." 

" Whereas, Miles A. Tuttle, late of Hartford, devised in his last will 
and testament to the Hartford Hospital, the use and improvement of 
one thousand dollars, to be appropriated under the direction of Dr. 
G. W. Russell. 

"And, whereas, the Executors on the estate of the said Miles A 
Tuttle have this day paid to the said Hartford Hospital the said sum of 
one thousand dollars, and the said G. W. Russell has requested that the 
said sum of one thousand dollars be put at interest and secured by mort-

will keep said sum of one thousand dollars invested as a permanent fund 
secured by mortgage upon real estate in the town of Hartford, valued at 
least double the amount loaned, and that they will appropriate the 
income thereof for the expenses, in such manner and for such patients as 
the Rector of Christ Church, in said Hartford, shall direct and approve. 

" At a meeting of the Directors of the Hartford Hospital, held on the 
i8th day of April, 1859, it was — 

' ' Voted, That the bequest of one thousand dollars from the late Miles 
A. Tuttle be accepted on the terms specified by Dr. G. W. Russell, and 
in accordance with the foregoing agreement with his executors. 

Attest, F. A. BROWN, Secretary." 



REPORT ON FUNDS. I47 

Upon inquiry it was ascertained that the income of the 
Fund had been appropriated on several occasions, for the 
benefit of persons recommended by the Rector of the Parish. 
But the one thousand dollars had not been invested as a 
distinct and separate Fund, nor had any special account been 
kept of the same, nor had any mortgage been recorded. It 
was promised, however, that it should be strictly attended 
to, as soon as a suitable mortgage could be procured.

In addition to the above, certain sums have been given 
from time to time for various purposes connected with the 
Parish. Some of these were donations or bequests not 
strictly in the nature of funds, but have occasionally been 
considered as such, the principal being retained or only 
partly expended. 

Mary S. Merrill gave by her will three hundred dollars to 
the Sunday-school, as follows : 

" I give and bequeath to the Wardens of the Parish of Christ Church 
of this city, exclusively for the use and benefit of the Sunday-school of 
said Parish, the sum of three hundred dollars." 

She was the daughter of George and Martha (Nevin.s) 
Merrill. Was born March 21, 1792, and died August 30, 
1882. Her parents died when she was young, and she was 
brought up in the family of Samuel Ledlie. She was a most 
devoted churchwoman, faithful in all her duties, extremely 
fond of children, and for twenty years was actively engaged 
in the Sewing-school. 



I50 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

It is supposed that the legacy was expended long since, 
as there is no record of any portion of it remaining. 

Brownell Memorial Fund. From offertory, Dec. 23, 1879. 
Now amounts to $143.06. Is deposited in State Savings 
Bank, Gurdon W. Russell, Trustee. 

Frafices Heywood, by will of August 12, 1864, gave five 
hundred dollars to the poor of the Parish : 

" To the poor of the Parish of Christ Church, in the city of Hartford, 
I give the sum of five hundred dollars, to be distributed according to the 
direction of the Rector of Christ Church." 

This sum is now deposited, on interest, in the Security 
Company, and the income, $30 per annum, is devoted to the 
support of the poor women belonging to the Mothers' meet- 
ings. 

Miss Heywood, daughter of Peter and Frances Ann 
(Beresford) Heywood, was born in Berbice, September 21, 
1 810, and came to this country with her mother. She died 
October 21, 1881. 

There is now on deposit, in the State Savings Bank, the 
the sum of $100, given by Mrs. Charlotte Rudder, the income 
of which is used for the Ladies' Benevolent Society. Mrs. 
John D. Tucker is the Treasurer. 

Z. B. Goodman, a worthy member of the Parish, and for 
a long time one of its Wardens, gave, February 25, 1S91, two 
hundred dollars as a Fund, the income of the same to be de- 
voted to the insurance of the memorial paintings on the 
west wall of the church. This sum is deposited in the vState 
Savings Bank, and the income is expended by the Treasurer 
for the purpose designated. 

Miss Thomasin A. Beresford gave $25 to the Ladies' 
Benevolent Society, for which the income is used. It is 
deposited in the Society for Savings, and Mrs. Tucker is the 
Treasurer. Miss Beresford was active in the charitable 
works of the parish, of very pleasant manners, sociable and 
kind. She was the daughter of Dr. John Beresford, was 
born in Barbadoes, April 17, 1801, and died August 19, 1857. 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 15I 

Walter Keney in 1885, gave one thousand dollars for the in- 
troduction of electric lights in the church. Of this sum there 
remains unexpended two hundred and fifty dollars, which is 
now in the Treasurer's hands. Some time before his death, 
Mr. Keney gave permission that a portion of his gift might 
be used for other parochial expenses. 

Mr. Keney was the son of Joseph and Rebecca (Turner) 
Keney, and was born July 10, 1808, and died January 21, 
1889. 

Few men have lived more industrious, prudent, and hon- 
orable lives than Mr. Keney. To his quiet disposition, great 
evenness of temper, and sound judgment, was added alto- 
gether more of a firmness of opinion than many would sus- 
pect. A violent opposition to the views of another was no 
part of his nature, so he did not make himself offensive by 
his contradictions or bring reproach by his silence. Those 
who knew him well were often astonished by his ready recol- 
lection of what he had read and the aptness of the quotations 
which he made. He was singularly attentive to his friends, 
keenly enjoying their society and mindful of their inter- 
ests; his sympathy was kindly manifested in all their trials 
and afflictions; his pleasure was increased by their success 
and prosperity. While he was an active benefactor to the 
Parish, he could look beyond its borders for his gifts. His 
generous nature foimd refuge in his kindly help to the poor 
and afflicted, and to the furtherance of all objects for good. 
Few have lived more useful lives in our. town, or have 
afforded a better example to young men. 

The Committee would respectfully report that the follow- 
ing votes be passed by the Vestry: 

I. That the several Trustees of the Funds belonging to 
the Parish shall keep an accurate account of the same, in a 
book devoted to each trust, which shall be passed over to 
their successors with an entry of all receipts and expendi- 
tures for the year, and that they shall report the same, 
together with a statement of the investments of the separate 
Funds, to the annual meeting of the Parish, and that the 



152 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

same shall be furnished to the Treasurer of the Parish to be 
incorporated, as far as may be necessary, in his report, that 
it may be known what the actual receipts and expenses have 
been for the current year for all parochial purposes. 

2. That the Treasurer shall keep an exact and separate 
account of each Fund, of which he is a Trustee, showing the 
receipts and expenses of the same for the year ending with 
his annual report, together with the investments of each 
Fund and the non-payment of any interest of the same, if 
such there should be, and that the several reports provided 
for in the first vote be appended to his own report; and, after 
being duly audited and accepted, this general report shall be 
placed upon the records of the Parish. 

3. That two auditors shall annually be appointed who 
shall examine the accounts of the several Trustees and the 
accounts of the Treasurer, together with the investment of 
the several Funds, and certify to the same, which shall be 
presented to the annual Parish meeting. 

4. That this report be printed under the direction of the 
committee, and that a sufficient number of the same be safely 
preserved, and that the Clerk of the Parish be directed to 
furnish a copy to each Trustee when entering upon his trust. 

5. That for the purpose of obtaining a full knowledge of 
all moneys raised in the Parish, aside from those especially 
belonging to the Rector, it is directed that an account 
of the same shall be reported, as soon as possible, in writing 
to the Treasurer, who shall state the same in his annual re- 
port. 

The vote appointing the committee contemplated the in- 
dexing of the Parish records, the extracting of all votes of 
importance, and an abstract of the Trust funds of the Parish, 
The first of these is a matter of so much labor and time that 
we did not feel able to undertake it. It needs the service of 
of some one specially skilled in this work, who should be paid 
for his labor; we therefore suggest the postponement of it for 
the present. That part of the resolution which directs "the 
abstracting of all votes of iniportance " may be undertaken 



REPORT ON FUNDS. 153 

at another time. The " abstract of the Trust Funds " has 
been extended into a lengthy history of the same, which in- 
volves to a certain extent a history of the Parish. It is hoped 
that this has been done faithfully and that the minute- 
ness will not be considered as painful or unnecessary. The 
parishioners ought to know and have a right to know all 
about the property which has been put into their hands, all 
about the management of the different trusts, and it is their 
duty to see that all the conditions attached to them are truly 
executed. The lapse of time and the frequent change in 
offices leads to a forgetfulness of obligations, which we do not 
desire to call inexcusable, but are checks to the liberality of 
the living and unjust to the good intent of the dead. All the 
care and the watchfulness which is due to our moneyed cor- 
porations is equally due — yes more due — to the trusts of 
our religious societies. 

We recommend that this report be printed and that a 
copy of the resume, in the latter part of it, be furnished to all 
who are officially connected with the parish.

Voted, That the Vestry now chosen, be authorized with 
the Advice of the Wardens, to hire a clergyman to Officiate 
in the Church, for such time; not exceeding three months at 
any time, untill a suitable Person can be found whom this 
Church s)iall agree to settle. And that such monies as may 
be necessary to pay the expenses for his support be raised 
by Rents of the Pews in the Church, or in case of deficiency 
thereof by a Tax on the Polls and rateable Estate of the 
members of this Church. 

Jan^ 28. 1801. 

Voted, That the Vestry out of their number appoint a 
Com", of three, to write or send to the Rev. Ammi Rogers, 
of Ballstown, to see wether he will officiate at the Episcopal 
Church in Hartford, 

TJic case of Ammi Rogers proved to be a very disturb- 
ing one, not only to the diocese of Connecticut, but to the 
church at large. He had been ordained by Bishop Pro- 
voost of New York, as Deacon, in 1792, and subsequently 
as Priest by the same Bishop. This was done " on the 
strength of a certificate signed with the name of the Rev. 
Philo Perry, Secretary of the Convocation of the Clergy 
of Connecticut, — which certificate was neither written or 
signed by him." He seems to have been possessed with 
enough of talent to create a great deal of mischief, and 
was a grievous thorn in the flesh to Bishop Jarvis, and to 
most of the clergy in this diocese. It appears that he 
was in Hartford, in October, 1800, perhaps prospecting 
for new pastures. Whether he preached here at that time 
I know not, but find this bill among the files, which is an 
indication that he did, and that he found some friends 
here, which led to the vote passed January 28, 1801.

The foregoing- is a copy of the Vote passed by the War- 
dens & Vestry, an exact transcript of which signed by the 
aforesaid Wardens & Vestry was given Mr. Rayner, date as 

above. 

Test, Jn" Jeffrey, Clk of said Society. 

I find among the records or papers of the parish, no 
answer by Mr. Rayner to the above. 

Mr. Rayner was formerly connected with the Method- 
ist denomination, but was ordained by Bishop Provoost in 
the latter part of 1795, probably, and was Rector of the 
Church at Elizabethtown, New Jersey. It may interest 
some to learn what is said about him by Rev. Abel Stevens, 
in his History of the Methodist Episcopal Church : 

At a Conference held at N. Y. May 25, 1791, among the 
appointments were these, " Lemuel Smith ; Minzies Rainor," 

P- 253- 

Again, speaking about the work done at " Tolland & the 

neighboring villages," Asbury says, " I felt very solemn 

among them ; Brothers Smith & Rainor have been owned of 

the Lord in these parts," p. 258. 

And speaking of a Conference at Lynn, 1792, he says, 

after enumerating several of the brethren, " there were also 

the youthful & talented Rainor, fresh from the revivals on 

the Hartford Circuit, & undiverted yet from the labors of 

the itinerancy, by the love of ease, or domestic comfort, which 

was afterwards too strong for him." 

COPIED FROM SUBSCRIPTION PAPER, — FROM THE LADIES. 

Sept. 22. " The Decoratio7i of Churches in most of the Epis- 
copal Parishes has, from practice been considered as the par- 
ticular province of the Ladies, at least so far as respects the 
Pulpit & the Surplice, — tho' the Episcopal Church in this 
city is in its infancy — yet we flatter ourselves the Ladies of 
this Church will feel themselves interested to see the Church 
as handsomely ornamented with Cushions «fe Curtains as 
others — they therefore agree to pay the several sums an- 
nexed to their names for the purpose of purchasing Velvet 
or Damask for the Desk & Pulpit.

INSTRUMENT OF DEDICATION AND CERTIFICATE OF 
CONSECRATION OF THE CHURCH NOVEMBER iif' 

A.D. 1801. 

At a meeting of the Wardens, Vestrymen & Parishioners 
of Christ's Church, in the City of Hartford, it was unani- 
mously resolved and voted, That As Almighty God had been 
pleased to put it into their Hearts, to build a new church for 
the celebration of his Worship according to the Liturgy of 
the Protestant Episcopal church of the United States of 
America, & the civil constitution of this State, it was their 
full purpose and desire that the said New church be dedi- 
cated to the Worship & service of Almighty God according 
to the Liturgy aforesaid, & that it might be called Christ's 
Church — 

We therefore, the Church Wardens, Vestrymen, & Parish- 
ioners of the said Church — Do for us & our successors, 
Dedicate, Appropriate, give & Grant, the said church so 
erected, unto Almighty God, our heavenly King & Father, 
to be consecrated & used to his Worship & Service, accord- 
ing to the Liturgy aforesaid, divesting ourselves of all right 



170 ^ CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

& Title, and disclaiming all authority to employ it hereafter 
to any common or profane use; 

And We, the Church Wardens, Vestrymen & Parishioners 
aforesaid do further resolve & vote^ that the two Church Ward- 
ens, John Morgan, & William Imlay, Esquires, do in our 
name & behalf sign & vSeal this Instrument of Dedication, 
& do acquaint the right Reverend Docf Jarvis, our Diocesan 
Bishop, therewith, & request that he would consecrate the 
said New Church to Almighty God, & set it apart to be 
forever hereafter employ'd in his Worship & services, prom- 
ising as far as in us lies to take care of the repairs of said 
Church, that it may be kept, together with its furniture, 
sacred utensils & Books, in a decent state for the celebration 
of Divine service. 

And also, that we will as God shall enable us, endeavour 
always to procure & support a Minister in Priests orders, to 
celebrate God's holy worship according to the Liturgy afore- 
said. 

In Witness whereof we the Church Wardens, have here- 
unto set our hands and Seals at Hartford, the ii"" day of 
November 1801.

SUBSCRIPTION FOR DEFICIENCY, 1802. 

/line 12. At a meeting of the Vestry of Christ Church 
in June 1802, it was represented by the Treasurer of the 
Society that the Moneys from the Rents of the Pews & Slips, 
& other resources of the Church, would not be sufficient for 
the Parish expenses for the year; it was therefore proposed 
that as no tax had been laid for the year, & that it might be 
more agreeable for the Parishioners to pay by voluntary 
contributions the sum necessary to make up the Deficiency — 
therefore we the Subscribers agree to pay to James Ward, 
Treasurer of the Society, the sums affixed to our names, pro-

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 1 75 

The religious societies of the State were allowed by 
law to tax their members for support of the parishes. 
Though this came principally from the lease of the pews 
and the contributions, yet not unfrequently there was a 
deficiency, which was made up in part from the tax. The 
law made all men taxable for the support of religion, and 
this was payable to the Congregational societies, unless 
the payer, by a certificate lodged with the town clerk, 
became a member of some other society. Quite a num- 
ber, who did not like the intolerance of the law which 
compelled them to contribute to the support of the Con- 
gregationalists, connected themselves with other religious 
bodies, some doubtless with decided preferences for their 
choice, and some also from no positive willingness, but 
only to escape from contributing to the churches by law 
established. It is possible that among the names follow- 
ing some of these latter may be found; but it is believed 
that most of them were ardently attached to the Church, 
and were reliable members of the same. The names of 
those residing in Windsor lived mostly in the parish of 
Wintonbury, now Bloomfield ; some of them had moved 
from East Haven, and had been churchmen there. 

The list also is valuable as showing the taxable estate 
of the members, with the amount of the tax to be paid to 
the parish. 

When one connected himself with a religious society, 
becoming a member thereof, he was liable, according to 
his rateable estate, for the taxes w^hich might be laid for 
its support. When he wished to leave the same, and 
connect himself with another, it was necessary that he 
should signify this to the town clerk. This was called 
"certificating off." A few of these are found on file, 
mostly for the period of about 1820. The reasons are 
occasionally given, but generally none are assigned. A 
copy of a few certificates are as follows : — 

" This may certify to the Episcopalian Church that I do 
not mean hereafter to be considered a member of the Epis- 



176 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD.

Methodist.

" The above is a true copy of the original lodged in my 
office at the date thereof. 

Attest Elisha N. Sill, Town Clerk. 
Windsor, August 25"' 1819." 

" This may certify that John Marsh's heirs do not belong 
to the Episcopal Society.

"East AVindsor, Feb'y 25, 1823. 
Charles Munn, Esq., 

Clerk of Christ Church, Hartford. 

vSir: I hereby certify that I choose to seperate & do 
hereby seperate myself from said Church & Society, 

Hiram Watson." 

Dr. William Cooley, who resided in the eastern part 
of East Hartford, was probably not a constant attendant 
at the services of the church, nor a very decided Episco- 
palian. He may be considered as a specimen of those 
persons who did not choose to be taxed by the " orthodox" 
societies, and would not cordially belong to any. I find, 
however, in the record of baptisms for 18 17, Oct. 22, this 
entry: " Horace Spencer, son of Dr. Cooley, East Hart- 
ford, bapt." This son and myself were at the school of 
Rev. Mr, Osborne, in Manchester in 1829, and his father 
resided in the north part of the town. Manchester, which 
was incorporated in 1823, was previously a part of East 
Hartford, and this part of it was called the parish of Or- 
ford. The Methodists, about this time, were beginning 
to be numerous in the different towns of the State, and 
perhaps he found accommodations which satisfied him 
nearer home.

The last tax of which I find any record was laid in 
1844, " of two cents on the dollar on the Polls & Ratable 
Estate of all the members of this Parish, to be computed 
on the lists rates of A. D. 1843." 

To show how formal and formidable this tax for the 
support of religious societies was, there is submitted the 
" authority to collect the Tax," which prefaces the list of 
1811 : 

To James M. Goodwin, Collector of the Episcopal Parish of Christ 
Church, in the City of Hartford : — Greeting, 

By Authority of the State of Connecticut, you are hereby 
commanded to levy and collect at the end of three months 
from the 30th day of March, 181 2, of the persons named in 
the following list, herewith committed to you, of each one 
his proportion, as therein set down, of the sum total of such 
list, being a tax, or assessment, granted and agreed on, by 
the Episcopal Parish of Christ Church in the city of Hartford, 
regularly and legally assembled on Easter Monday, the 30th 
March, 181 2, for defraying the necessary expenses arising 
within the same, and to deliver and pay the same which you 
shall so levy and collect unto Wm. H. Imlay, treasurer of 
said Parish, and to no other person 7vhatever. 

And if any person or persons shall neglect or refuse to 
pay the sum or sums whereat he or they are respectively 
assessed, or set in said list, to distrain the goods or chattels 
of such person or persons, and the same dispose of, as the 
law directs, returning the overplus, if any, to the Owner or 
Owners, and for the want of goods and Chattels whereon to 
make distress, you are to take the body, or bodies, of the 
person, or persons so refusing, and him or them commit unto

the keeper of the gaol of said county, within said prison, who 
is hereby commanded to receive and keep him or them, till 
he or they pay and satisfy said snm or sums, so assessed 
upon him or them, as aforesaid, together with your fees; — 
unless the said assessment, or any part thereof, on application 
made shall be abated. 

After having completed your collections and settled your 
account with the Treasurer, you will return this Book to the 
Clerk of the Parish. 

Dated at Hartford, April, 181 2, 

Jn: Morgan, Justice Peace. 

If any obstinate taxpayer was disposed to question the 
authority of Mr. Goodwin to collect this tax, he could 
find sufficient warrant in an attested copy attached to the 
book, of all the votes of the parish relating to it, signed 
by " Charles Sigourney, Clerk of the Parish," or " Society's 
Clerk." There have been few members of the parish who 
have been so punctual and particular in all the details of 
their work, so adherent to strict business principles, so ex- 
cellent a penman, neat and distinct, so " safe " in every 
respect, as Mr. Sigourney. It was no small labor and not 
always a work of love on both sides, to collect this tax. 
Mr. Goodwin was a merchant actively engaged in busi- 
ness, whose time was valuable to himself and to his fam- 
ily. He could only support himself by his success in his 
business, but he loved his church and was willing to labor 
for it. The necessities of the parish made great demands 
upon its members. A like devotion is believed to be 
found among numerous religious organizations through- 
out the Union, for without this sacrificing disposition 
many of them would cease to exist. 

Mr. Goodwin, all through his connection with Christ 
Church, and afterwards with St. John's, was a devoted 
and consistent Churchman. From tax gatherer to Vestry- 
man and Warden and Sunday-school Superintendent, in 
whatever position he was placed, he was industrious, 
faithful, persevering. He had that confidence in himself

which induced him to express his opinions freely and 
frankly. Though never a very wealthy man, and by 
nature careful of his own, he yet gave for the different 
objects in the parish according to his ability, and further, 
he gave much of his time and labor, which too many do 
not consider as a part of their duty. 

As illustrating his carefulness and business methods, 
let me copy from this little book his account current on 
the last page :

No wonder that this system of compulsory payment 
was abolished by the Toleration party which came into 
power a few years afterwards. It was mightily chafing, 
while it existed, and was forced to give way to voluntary 
offerings, and the support of true religion was not injured 
thereby.

individual member in proportion to the amount which each 
individual inember's list, for the year 1808 bears to the lists 
of the whole parish; and that the same be applied to pay for 
painting and repairing the Church, to pay the Clergyman's 
salary, or other expenses under the direction & at the discre-

APPEAL FROM HUNTINGTON. 

It is believed that many will read with interest the 
following correspondence. The church at Huntington 
had been destroyed by fire, and the parish desired aid 
in rebuilding it, and so applied to Christ Church for 
assistance. 

Aug. 3. 181 1. 

Huntington, August 5, 181 1. 

To the Wardens and Vestry of the Episcopal Church at Hartford, 
Gentlemen, brethren of our religious order, 

We address you upon our distressed situation. Our Church 
in the Parish of Ripton accidentally caught fire on 31st ultimo, 
and was consumed to ashes. Our Parish a short time past 
appeared to be in a flourishing situation, but the estate of 
the late Mr. Todd, (our former pastor) having a heavy claim 
upon us, and the society to prevent the necessity of resort- 
ing to taxation, have exerted their whole power to raise a 
fund for the permanent support of the Gospel, and having 
nearly completed the object, are overtaken with the above 
disaster. To live without the Gospel preached amongst us, 
and a building for the sacred ordinances to be administered 
in, is triily forbidding: to erect a new church wholly from 
our own resources, appears to be ec^ually gloomy. Under 
these circumstances we feel ourselves constrained to request 
the charitable assistance of our Brethren in the neighboring 
societies. We, therefore, petition your society (through you 
Gentlemen as their Organ), for some relief. Whatever col- 
lection you may make (in your own way), you will please for- 
ward to Hezekiah Marsh, Treasurer of the Episcopal Society

Gentlemen^ 

The Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church in this City, 
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 5th inst., com- 
municating to them the afflicting intelligence of the destruc- 
tion by fire, of the Episcopal Church at Ripton, in your par- 
ish. The request in your letter, that we should endeavor to 
afford you some relief, from our parish, received our imme-

diate attention. After consulting with our Pastor, the Rev'' 
M"" Rayner, on the most judicious mode of proceeding in this 
Case, it was decided to open a subscription paper, on which 
to receive and collect what contributions the charitably dis- 
posed might be inclined to give ; and this we requested M' 
Rayner to announce and explain to his people, the sabbath 
following. We have now the pleasure to communicate to 
you the result of our efforts. We send you, herein enclosed 
one hundred and twenty-two dollars, collected as by the en- 
closed subscription paper ; and we would at the same time 
express to you our sincere sympathy for the calamity you 
have sustained, and our hope that it may be alleviated, in a 
considerable degree, bj^ the friendship and beneficence of 
your neighbors, and brethren throughout the State. We 
lament that it is not in our power to do more than we have 
done. Our Parish is small, and the Church in this City, for 
many years past, has depended for its support, on the exer- 
tions and liberal contributions of a very few persons. Yet 
what we contribute, we trust will be of use, and we hope it 
will derive some value from the readiness and cheerfulness 
with which we know it has been given. We recommend to 
you to proceed, without delay, in your arrangements for re- 
building your Church. While the sympathy of the Public is 
awakened by the knowledge of your recent misfortune, much 
may be expected from this voluntary aid. Suffer it to sub- 
side, and you will appeal in vain to the Charity of many, from 
whose remembrance time may have nearly effaced the recol- 
lection of your loss. But above all, we recommend you, in 
your undertaking, to the favor and protection of Providence, 
which we trust, will smile on your labours, and we hope that 
all your Christian exertions may be crowned with success, 
and we pray that your zeal may not fail you, but be increased 
in proportion as exactions are required of you. 

We remain, with sentiments of sincere regard and Chris- 
tian fellowship, 

Gentlemen, your friends and well wishers.

great delay, effect the object of our ardent desire. With

There is no formal resignation of Mr. Rayner upon 
the records of the parish; but it was probably on the 
fourteenth of October, 1 8 11 , at the termination of the last 
six months of his service. From the Treasurer's book it 
appears that he was paid on the 24th of this month 
$441.20, which "includes his services for one Sunday 
extra." This settlement was supposed to be complete 
and final. He left immediately for Huntington, having 
been called to the rectorship of the church there, and had

promised to call on Bishop Jarvis, at New Haven, and 
obtain canonical consent to his dismissal from Christ 
Church. But in his hurry he failed to do so, or did not 
ask for his dismissal, as will be seen from the correspond- 
ence which follows. As the parish was about to call as 
his successor the Rev. Philander Chase, it was necessary 
that this document should be first obtained, and therefore 
the wardens addressed a letter to the Bishop, which is 
subjoined, together with the Bishop's reply. 

Mr. Hoadly places it mildly when he says that there 
" had been dissatisfaction " with Mr. Rayner. He was the 
first settled rector of the parish, and for the greater part of 
the ten years he was connected with it had doubtless served 
it well and to general satisfaction. He was good-natured 
in his temper, easy in his manners, of fair abilities as 
a clergyman, and attended to his parish with apparent 
faithfulness. If he was fond of controversy, it was with 
the Congregationalists, whose Calvinism he was always 
ready to denounce. And in this he was probably a pretty 
fair representative of a large proportion of the Episco- 
palians of the State. Certainly he represented that con- 
siderable number of people who had no sympathy with 
the " standing order," and who would not contribute to 
its support. As these men were obliged to pay some- 
where for the support of religion, they chose to contribute 
to the aid of a denomination which they could tolerate, 
rather than to one which they hated ; and so some con- 
nected themselves with the Episcopalians, and some with 
the Baptists. It was the beginning of a political union 
with the republicans, which afterwards effected a revolu- 
tion in the State. Some of these became faithful mem- 
bers of the Episcopal Church, and so remained with their 
families; and some afterwards, as opportunity offered, 
joined other religious bodies which were more in sympa- 
thy with their own views. 

Of those who paid their tax in Christ Church, I sup-

pose there were not a few who had no special liking for . 
the Episcopal Church, except that it shielded them from 
the Congregationalists. Some of them may have attended 
at public worship, and most of them doubtless did, and 
looked to the rector for whatever services they or their 
families required. 

It is evident that Mr. Rayner sympathized with these 
persons; he was often fighting the same enemy, and 
naturally the combatants entertained a friendly feeling 
for one another ; they might differ widely on some points, 
but they agreed fully upon one, which in their opinion 
was important. The consequence was a union which 
tided them over present difficulties, and gave them an 
opportunity for the claim of "liberty of conscience," 
which sometimes is but the exercise of a very obstinate 
self-will. 

The teachings of Mr. Rayner had become not wholly 
acceptable. Dr. Beardsley, in his " History of the Episco- 
pal Church in Connecticut," says, " he left Hartford in the 
autumn of 1811— some warm friends desiring his stay, 
and the majority of the parish as desirous of a change that 
[in the words of John Morgan, the senior warden, in a 
letter to Bishop Jarvis] they might " continue together in 
the true Church, without schism or separation." I have 
heard some of the old people of the parish speak very 
kindly of him, principally from his good nature and easy 
familiarity. Endeavoring, some years since, to learn the 
cause of his leaving, I was told " that he would ride upon 

a truck with , and set up nights catching rats 

with ," which was all true. Although he was 

the first rector to experience a " gentle pressure " which 
sent him away, unpleasantly, he was not, however, the 
last. 

The salary of Mr. Rayner was six hundred dollars per 
annum ; not a large sum surely, but quite as much as the 
parish could afford to pay, and this he probably recog- 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 1 89 

nized. It had been promised him in quarterly payments, 
which promise had not been punctually kept. However, 
of this there is no apparent complaint on his part, with 
one exception. In addition to his duties as rector of 
Christ Church, he acted for a short time as missionary to 
the few churchmen at Warehouse Point, and cheerfully 
it is believed, receiving from them one hundred dollars a 
year. He says, " during the summer and fall of two suc- 
cessive years, after preaching twice in Hartford on the 
Sabbath, I used to travel twelve miles and preach a third 
time at a place called Warehouse Point, in East Windsor." 
On one of these Sunday evenings there w^as to be a meet- 
ing of the vestry of Christ Church at Mr. Olcott's, " to 
consult upon the affairs of the parish," and as he was not 
able to be present, he sent them an epistle in verse, 
which has been called " The Dunning Letter," reminding 
them of their dues to him of two or three hundred dollars. 
The poetical merit is not very great, but " it had the 
effect to relieve me [him] at once from the aforenamed 
embarrassment, for the very next day the amount due 
was handed over." 

The letter, together with the preface, was published 
on a half letter sheet subsequently, and was in circulation 
among his friends. There is no date connected with it, 
but it was printed perhaps when he was the minister of 
the Universalist Society in this city. A copy of the 
Epistle was furnished me by Mr. John E. Morris ; it may 
be found in full in the Bontecou Genealogy. My only 
recollection of Mr. Rayner goes back to a time when he 
was on a visit to Hartford, perhaps in 1834 or '35, or 
thereabouts. I happened to be present when he was 
making a friendly call, and he repeated a part or the 
whole of the Dunning Letter. It is to his credit that he 
gave no assent or sympathy to the remarks of a notorious 
infidel, who at that time endeavored to draw him into 
conversation. 



190 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The concluding lines are as follows : 

" But now, to be more serious, and conclude — 

(For hitherto I fear I've been too rude), 

My wants are pressing, my resources few, 

And for reUef must look alone to you. 

The sum is small which I've a right to ask, 

But to collect it doubtless is a task. 

The times are dull, cash not in circulation ; 

And each can scarce " work out his own salvation "; 

A part of what is due my turn may serve, 

I hope that better days are in reserve. 

I urge no more ; I will be no complainer ; 

I am, 

Your humble servant, 

Menzies Ravner." 

Some time after he left the city he presented a claim 
for interest, upon payments which had not been made 
punctually, which he computed to amount to between two 
and three hundred dollars. Mr. Sigourney's letter ex- 
plains the matter sufficiently. Several attempts were 
made to obtain the exact account, but were unsuccessful 
until the meeting of the Diocesan Convention in Hart- 
ford, when it is supposed he was present. The only 
record to be found is this, " 1812, June 4. To Cash pd. 
Menzies Rayner, in full, pr. order, and his receipt, 
$175.00." In full of demands, Mr. R. says for his claim 
against the parish, " in consequence of my services as a 
Rector thereof, or in my private capacity." 

As a further part of his history, and of his connection 
with the Church in this Diocese, I quote from Bcardsleys 
History of the CJiiirch in Connecticut : 

"On the 7th of November 1827, the Standing Committee 
met at Stratford, and the following document, duly signed, 
in conformity with the Canon, by two persons, one a pres- 
byter and the other a layman of the Diocese, was received 
and considered — 

" Whereas it is commonly reported and believed, that the 
Rev. Menzies Rayner, a presbyter of the Protestant Episco- 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. I9I 

pal Church in the Diocese of Connecticut, is in the habit of 
countenancing and disseminating opinions which are con- 
trary to the doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal Church in 
the United States ; and also that the said Rayner is in the 
habit of public preaching, without using the Liturgy of the 
Church, and further, that his conduct, for some time past, 
has been unbecoming the character of a Christian min- 
ister : — 

" Now, therefore, we, the undersigned, earnestly desire 
that the truth of the said reports should be investigated, 
agreeably to the fourth Canon of the Convention of the State 
of Connecticut, I do hereby charge the said Menzies Rayner 
with the above recited offences, and present the same for 
the consideration of the Standing Committee." 

" In consequence of information received from the Bishop 
that Mr. Rayner had assured him that " he would immediately 
make the declaration required by the seventh Canon of the 
General Convention of 1820, to enable the Bishop to suspend 
him from the ministry of the Church without trial," the 
Committee decided to postpone all proceedings on the 
charges until further informed, and when they met again, 
two months afterwards, he had relinquished his ministry in 
the Episcopal Church, and been suspended from the exercise 
of its office." 

In presenting his resignation to Bishop Brownell, Mr. 
Rayner says,' "I am aware that my present resignation 
must probably deprive me of the Bishop's -pastoral super- 
intendence, which I sincerely regret. That it should also 
forfeit me his private and personal friendship would be a 
misfortune to which I truly hope I shall not be subjected. 
I shall still humbly claim to be considered as a member 
of the Church, entitled to all its common privileges." 

Alluding to this matter in his annual address to the 
Convention in 1828, the kind and prudent Bishop said 
that the suspension had been made in accordance with 
the Canon, and that " the Rev. Mr. Rayner, by making 
his suspension the result of his own voluntary act, has

greatly relieved me from the pain wliicli such an act of 
discipline is otherwise calculated to create, and however 
we may regret the cause which has led to it, we are not to 
be judges of other men's consciences, — to his own Master 
he standeth or falleth." 

It is much to the credit of Mr. Rayner, that he volun- 
tarily resigned his connection with a body with which he 
was not in sympathy. If his example had been quietly 
followed by some others, at a later day, there would have 
been much less scandal brought upon the Christian 
Church. 

1812. 

Mr. Sigourney to Mr. Rayner, speaking plainly : — 

April I J. 

Hartford, Connecticut, April 13, 181 2. 

To the Rev"* M. Rayner, 
Dear Sir. 

It becomes my duty to communicate to you the Votes 
of our Parish, at their last parish meeting regarding the sub- 
ject of an allowance of interest claimed by you as detailed in 
those Votes, & a copy of which is hereto annexed. As you 
requested me the last time I saw you, to inform you of the 
nature of the objections (if any) which might be made to 
this claim, I endeavor at this time to give you a brief 
abstract of such arguments as were used. It was declared 
by some that they had always paid, when first called on, 
their proportion of the parish expenses, that they had been 
in no way instrumental in producing the want of punctuality 
complained of ; that it was not just they should be called 
on to pay for the deficiencies of other people, & that the 
proper persons to pay this interest were those, who had 
always paid with backwardness and delay. It was enquired 
what had been the cause of the inability of the parish to pay 
the Clergyman's salary in punctual quarterly payments ? It 
was perceived that the two principal causes, liad been the 
discontinuing the Sunday contributions, & the parish having 
forborne to lay a tax to aid in supporting the Clergyman

till the year 1810. It was known you had favored both 
these measures, particularly the latter, and had moreover (in 
meetings of the Vestry) constantly objected to a vigorous 
system in the collection of our parish debts, and in one 
instance where the party was abundantly able to pay, even 
advocated the entire relinquishment of the debt in question, 
rather than risque offending the person, by insisting on the 
payment of what was due to us; that the consequence of 
these measures was a laxity, both in those who collected, and 
in those who had to pay, and it was thought therefore, the 
less reasonable that you should call on the parish to make 
good to you, what was (in part) the unavoidable result of 
measures of your own approving. 

The claim was objected to, by some on this ground, that 
if it had always been your intention to have demanded 
interest, it ought really to have been demanded and com- 
puted at the end of each years salary, as it accrued, in which 
way the payment of it would have fallen on those whose 
duty it was at the time to have paid the interest. That the 
claim being now bro't up for the first time, at the expiration 
of between 9 & ten years since you first settled here, the 
accumulated interest would be to be paid (such have been 
the changes in the parish) by very different persons, for the 
greater part, from those who constituted the parish, many 
years since, and whose duty it would have been to have paid 
the interest at the proper time, had it been claimed, — that 
it would be unjust to require persons, who have joined the 
parish within a few years past to pay an amount of back 
interest, which they had little or no agency in contracting. 
— In regard to the promise you state was made you by the 
Vestry — it was admitted to have always been their inten- 
tion to have made a handsome provision for you at parting 
amicably — but it was felt by some that they were absolved 
from an obligation of this kind, in Consequence of some 
unpleasant Circumstances which took place prior to your 
leaving town. — that they were justified in a change of 
opinion and intention by a change of Circumstances, but 
that, nevertheless, a part of this provision was made, in the 
13

presents given, & by some considered as a substitute for a 
formal subscription, however the am't of them might have 
fallen short of both your expectations, & the first intentions 
of the Vestry. Notwithstanding these objections it appeared 
to be the wish of the Vestry & of the meeting to have the 
claim settled, if possible to your satisfaction. And as you 
had in your letter of Jan^ 13, 1S12, promised a statement to 
the parish on this subject, which had not been received, it 
was moved by Mr. Hitchcock to postpone doing any thing 
further on this subject, untill we could receive your state- 
ment, and it was afterward further moved, as we concluded 
you would be here during the sitting of the Convention in 
this place, the early part of June next, to adjourn our meet- 
ing to the first Monday of June, following, for the express 
purpose of Considering and settling this Claim at a time 
when we could be able to see you in person on this business. 
With my best respects to Mrs. Rayner, and your family, 

I remain D'' Sir, 
Your friend & obedient servant, 
(signed) Charles Sigourney, 

Clerk of the Parish.

After the departure of Mr. Rayner, arrangements were 
made with Rev. Philander Chase to continue the ser- 
vices of the parish, which are sufficiently detailed by Mr. 
Hoadly. But it is thought well to include several of the 
letters which relate to the call and acceptance by Mr. 
Chase.

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. I97 

Dec. I J. " Sir, 

At a meeting of the Parishioners of Christ 
Church in the City, held on the 10"' inst. it was voted that 
their Vestry, in their behalf, make application to you to take 
charge of the Parish, as their rector, and also to make an 
explicit offer to you, of Eight hundred dollars per annum as 
salary while as agents for the Parish, they are thus empow- 
ered to treat. — They have to express their own personal 
satisfaction in being able to say that nothing can afford 
them, or the Parish higher gratification, than the hopes, that 
this proposal may meet your approbation, and that they may 
have the pleasure early to communicate to the parish your 
acquiescence in taking upon you this charge. — In which 
they likewise trust & hope the blessing of Divine Providence 
will continue to be shed upon them and will perpetuate the 
connexion, they have thus desired. 

With great esteem & respect, they remain, 8zc.

Hartford, Connecticut. 

Hartford Jan. 7, A.D. 1812. ' 
Gentlemen, 

Your letter of the 13"' of December last was handed 
me by one of your Body & has been duly considered. The 
decent and respectful language in which it is written joined 
to the kind and affectionate treatment I have met with from 
yourselves, and from the congregation in general, demand 
what I am so ready to give, my most hearty acknowledg- 
ments. You wish me to take charge of your Parish and 
mention Eight Hundred Dollars, as the annual Salary 
attached to the Rectorship. Considering the present state 



198 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

of the Parish, and the considerable disbursements which yon 
so generally suffer in the procuring' of an Organ, Bell, & 
other necessaries for the Church, this offer is both to your 
honor and my satisfaction. As I observed to you in oral 
conversation however, this salary is not sufficient to meet 
what I know must be my expenses in maintaining my family 
in the City of Hartford, but to promote the cause of the 
Church, I will accept of it, for the two years first ensuing, 
provided it be distinctly stipulated that ever after that 
period, the salary shall be One thousand, instead of Eight 
Hundred Dollars, per annum. If the Parish and the Vestry 
be willing to accede to this measure, and there be the accus- 
tomed unanimity in their proceedings, T shall be ready to 
form and ratify that tender connexion between a Christian 
Pastor and his flock, on which you so piously beg the Divine 
Blessing, and which to cement and to perpetuate shall be, 
under the smiles of a Divine Providence the humble endea- 
vour of Gentlemen, 

Your most Obedient Humble Servant, 

Philander Chase. 

The calling of a parish meeting was attended with con- 
siderable labor, for the parishioners resided not only in 
Hartford, but also in East Windsor and in Windsor 
(Wintonbury), and other places. 

The warnings were to be made " at least five days 
before the day" appointed for the meeting. Anson Hay- 
den for Hartford, certifies " that he has warned, or left 
warning at the places of abode of all the persons belong- 
ing to the Episcopal Parish of Christ Church in the City 
of Hartford, who reside within the said City." Henry 
Holmes certifies to the warning of those members of the 
Parish who reside in East Windsor, " excepting Noadiah 
Drake ; also Arodi Higley, being absent and his wife too, 
warning was left with his Children, who were found at the 
Public School." Meritt Gilbert certifies that he " warned 
or left a warning at the places of abode of the following 
persons, Zebulon Hoskins, Thomas Moore, John McLean, 
Jacob Phelps, and Nathaniel Jones, being members of

the Episcopal Parish of Clirist Church in this City, and 
residing in that part of the town of Windsor, called 
Wintonbury." 

This call was for a parish meeting Feb. 28, 181 2, at 
2 o'clock P. M., to consider the proposition which the 
Wardens and Vestry had made to the Rev. Philander 
Chase, " to take pastoral charge of the Parish." 

These notifications of parish meetings, with the sev- 
eral returns, are all recorded by the careful Clerk, Charles 
Sigourney, together with the several letters sent to Mr. 
Chase, and the answers returned by him. He was not 
sparing of his time or labor in anything which con- 
cerned the parish. 

Feb. 28th. the parish agreed to the stipulations of Mr. 
Chase, adding, " so long as he shall continue their min- 
ister as an Episcopal Clergyman, performing the duties 
of his office to the acceptance of the Bishop of this 
Diocese, and of this Parish," and sent to him the fol- 
lowing letter, which is a very pleasing evidence that 
they rejoiced in their choice. 

Feb. 2p. City of Hartford, Feb^ 29, 181 2. 

To the Rev"^ Philander Chase, 

Dear Sir. 

In announcing to you, as has become their duty, the 
above vote of the Episcopal Parish of Christ's Church, in 
this City, the Vestry thereof cannot content 'themselves with 
merely a formal communication, — They would ask your 
permission, on this occasion to congratulate themselves on the 
pleasing prospect, which under Providence, is opening to 
them — and they would be greatly unjust to their own feel- 
ings were they to abstain from expressing the real satisfac- 
tion they feel. On the subject of temporal provision, the 
Vestry have been sincerely desirous of meeting your wishes. 

They are happy moreover, in being able to state that the 
above Vote, which they trust will be satisfactory to you, was 
passed without the expression of any dissent. 

They would invoke the favour and blessing of Almighty 
GOD on the tender union, which is about to take place, be- 



200 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

tween the Christian Pastor and his flock : an union, which 
tho' commenced on earth, may, through the promises and 
hopes unfolded in the Gospel, be continued in Heaven, and 
extended to eternity. No longer may it be said that the lit- 
tle "Israel" of their Church "is seen scattered on the hills, 
as sheep which have not a Shepherd." But may that Church 
rejoice in the Lord, who hath appointed unto them "a shep- 
herd who shall feed his flocks, who shall gather the Lambs 
in his arms, and carry them in his bosom," who shall " allure 
to brighter worlds, and lead the way." The Vestry have 
only to add their own personal wishes for the health and 
happiness of Mr. C. and his family. 

And subscribe themselves with sincere esteem.

Copy of a Letter addressed by the Wardens of Christ 
Church to the Right Rev" Abraham Jarvis, D.D., Bishop 
of the Diocese of Connecticut. 

March lo. Hartford, Conn'', March lo, 1812. 

To the Right Rcv^ the Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut : 
Reverend Sir, 

It was in the latter part of the month of September last, 
that the Rev. Mr. Rayner, then our Rector, addressed a let- 
ter to you, expressing a desire for a dismission in due form, 
from the charge of the Parish of Christ Church in this City. 
On the lo"' day of the following month of (October), Mr. 
John Morgan, one of the Wardens of said Church, received 
your letter of the 9"* of that month, communicating to the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 20I 

Parish the application of Mr. Rr. To this letter, a reply ac- 
quiescing in the application, was immediately returned, and 
which was dated the 12"' October. The formal Act or leave 
of dissolution of the pastoral Connexion then subsisting be- 
tween Mr. R. and this parish, it was supposed would have 
followed in due course. The engagements of Mr. Rayner 
at Huntington, however, not admitting, in his view, of a 
postponement of his Journey to that place, longer than one 
or two Sundays, after the transmission to you of the letter 
above named from the Wardens of Christ Church, and as in 
that time, the formal act of dismission did not reach us, he 
concluded it was most expedient for him to depart, without 
waiting the arrival of that act, which he stated to some of 
the Vestry of the Church, he would call and receive at your 
hands, in New Haven as he passed through that place on his 
way to Huntington. The Wardens have, therefore, been in 
doubt whether the leave of dismission, in due form, has yet 
been given by you, or if given, whether it be not at this time 
in the hands of Mr. Rayner. In case it has not been given, 
they would beg the favour of you to transmit it to them, that 
it may appear recorded in the books of the Parish. 

They have now the pleasure of acquainting you that the 
Parish have made overtures to the Rev"* Philander Chase to 
take the pastoral charge there which overtures have been 
accepted by him. While of this circumstance, they now beg 
leave to apprise you, they solicit your official approbation 
and blessing thereon. If this connexion be approved, they 
would leave to you and the Rev"^ Mr. Chase, 'the arrangement 
of all which may be necessary to be done, for his regular In- 
stitution to the charge of this Parish. 

The Wardens beg leave to assure you of the sincere re- 
spect and reverence with which they always remain, 

Your friends and obedient Servants

202 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD, 

Copy of a Letter received from the Rev'' Abraham 
Jarvis, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Connecticut. 
March id. New Haven, March i6, 1812. 

/o//// Morgan, Est/, 
Sir, 

The letter signed by you and Mr. Olcott as Wardens of 
Christ Church in Hartford, under date of March 10, informs 
me of the grounds you had to expect Mr. Rayner had called 
on me for the canonical instrument dissolving his pastoral 
connexion with your Parish. Had he called for that pur- 
pose, it would doubtless have been made out. It may still 
be done, and the appearance of regularity preserved, by 
leaving the date to be put by you so as to correspond in time 
and order, with the dates of previous transactions of the Par- 
sh entered upon your records. 

ACT OF DISSOLUTION. 

October 25, 1811. 

Whereas, the Reverend Menzies Rayner, Rector of Christ 
Church in the City of Hartford, has made application in due 
form for a dissolution of his Pastoral Charge of that Church; 
and whereas, the Parishioners of the same have manifested 
their consent that the said dissolution should be granted; 

It is hereby declared to all whom it may concern, that the 
said application is accepted, and the Reverend Menzies Ray- 
ner is regularly and fully discharged from his pastoral con- 
nexion with the Church aforesaid, 
(signed) Abraham, Bishop of Connecticut, 

March jo, P. Voted, That the Convention of the Epis- 
copal Church in this Diocese, be requested, at their next 
meeting to take into consideration the propriety of applying 
to the Legislature of this State, to enact a Statute authoriz- 
ing the parishes of the Episcopal Churches in this State to 
hold their annual parish meetings on Easter Monday of each 
year without further notice. 

It was not considered necessary, I suppose, to apply to 
the Legislature for authority to hold the annual parish 
meetings at any specified time, but the Convention of the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 203 

Diocese held at Hartford, did enact tlie following Canon 
June 3, 1812, the essential parts of which are in existence 
at present. 

A CANON REGULATING EASTER MEETINGS. 

" There shall be an annual meeting in Easter week of the 
Wardens, Vestrymen, and Parishioners of each Parish in the 
Diocese, for the purpose of appointing the Wardens and 
Vestrymen, and transacting all other business that may 
canonically come before said meeting. And at every such 
meeting it shall be the duty of the Rector to preside, agree- 
ably to ancient usage ; and in case of a vacancy or necessary 
absence of the Rector, the senior officer present shall pre- 
side." 

CONCERNING AN EPISCOPAL COLLEGE. 

(P.) Votcd^ That a Committee of three persons be ap- 
pointed to confer, advise, or correspond with any other 
Committee, or body of persons interested, on the subject 
of an application, which is to be made this spring, to the 
Legislature of this State, for liberty to establish an Epis- 
copal College in this State, — an object which this Parish 
greatly desires to see effected, and that this Committee be 
hereby instructed to cooperate to the utmost of their power, 
with the applicants above named, in endeavoring to effect, 
by all lawful and honorable means, the successful issue of 
their application. 

Voted, That Charles Sigourney, Samuel Tudor, jr., and 
Thomas Glover, be this Committee. 

Efforts had been made in 18 10 to procure an enlarge- 
ment of the charter of the Episcopal Academy at Cheshire, 
and it was resolved at the Dioscesan Convention to request 
the Trustees " to prefer a petition to the next General 
Assembly of the State of Connecticut, praying the said 
Academy may be constituted a College, by the name and 
style of the Episcopal College of Connecticut." This was 
granted in the lower House, but denied in the Council. 
The matter was taken up by the General Convention, 
which met at New Haven in 1 8 1 1 , and a resolution of ap- 



204 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

proval was passed. At a Convention of the Clergy held 
in February, 1812, it was Voted, That a petition be again 
preferred to the Legislature, " praying that said Academy 
may be erected into a College," but nothing came from it. 
" Five prominent clergymen were appointed to draft the 
petition, and advocate the same before the General Assem- 
bly, but their movements are not recorded, and other 
events afterwards came in to stay entreaty, and absorb the 
ecclesiastical and legislative sympathies."* 

This explains the above resolution of the parish, and 
of their desire to cooperate with the movements of the 
clergy. 

The parish recurred to this subject again, April 19, 
181 3, but it was unsuccessful, as stated above. 

PARISH LIBRARY AND BOOKS FOR SALE. 

P. Voted, Whereas T. & J. Swords, booksellers, of the 
City of New York, have sent, or are about to send, to this 
City for sale, a consignment of Prayer- Books, Bibles, and 
other religious books, particularly illustrative of the or- 
dinances and doctrines of the Protestant Episcopal Church, 
which books will be sent to the care of Thomas Glover of 
this City, it is therefore 

Voted, That the Vestry of this Church, be authorized and 
requested to receive the said books, and any others hereafter 
to be consigned, to keep them in some suitable place, and to 
use their influence in promoting the sale of them, in this City, 
and vicinity. 

That the books be sold for Cash only, that the Vestry be 
responsible to T. & J. Swords, for such books as are sold, — 
that it be the duty of the Vestry, to settle their accounts with 
T. & J. Swords, at least, once a year, — and that it be the 
duty of the Vestry, with advice of the Rector and Ward- 
ens, to invest the amount of the allowance or commission, 
iisually granted by booksellers on books consigned for sale, 
in suitable books, for a Parish Library, to be established and 
called " The Library of the Episcopal Parish of Christ Church 
in the City of Hartford." 



* Beardsley's Hist. Ch. in Conn. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 205 

Voted^ That the Rector, Wardens, & Vestry, be appointed 
the Managers and Directors of said Library, and that the 
books be kept at such place as they may direct. 

Voted, That the Directors of said Library be requested to 
solicit and accept of, the gift of any books on religious and 
moral subjects, which well disposed persons may be inclined 
to give, — and that it be the duty of the Directors of said 
Library to cause the name, or names, of such persons as may 
make donations of books to the Library, to be fairly written 
in the said books, as being the donors thereof. 

April 4. V. Voted, That Amos Ransom, Seth Whiting, 
& James M. Goodwin, be a Committee to agree with some 
suitable Carpenter to repair & strengthen the spire of the 
Church in such manner, that it may be fully secured for 
hanging a bell, making it a condition that the new posts to 
be added for the support of the spire be of white oak, or 
white chesnut, & to see that the same be done effectually. 

Voted, That John Morgan, Cyprian Nichols, & Samuel 
Tudor, jr., be a Committee to apply to the " Society's Com- 
mittee " of D"" Strong's Parish, to know if they will consent 
to some arrangement whereby the bell now in D' Strong's 
meeting house may be sold to the Parish of Christ Church at 
such price as may be agreed on by the two Committees, & to 
request their answer in two weeks from Monday the 6th 

inst. 

A REASONABLE REQUEST. 

June 20. V. Voted, That Michael Olcott, James Ward, & 
Eliakim Hitchcock, be a Committee to apply to the Ministers 
8c to the Society's Committees of the North & South (Re- 
ligious) Societies, at this time so-called — and to the Society's 
Committee (there being at this time no Minister) of the 
Baptist Society, all in this City, to know if they will concur, 
with this Parish, in altering the time of the afternoons service 
on Sundays, from 2 "clock to 3 '-clock P. M., during the sum- 
mer months from May i, to October i. 

Voted, That it be the duty of the Treasurer, to make 
annually, at the Parish meeting at Easter a written Report 
to the Parish, of the State of the Parish Funds, which shall 



206 



CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 



include an account of all the receipts of money & its ex- 
penditures during the year preceding. 

Fofed, That a stiitable book be procured for recording the 
births or Christenings, marriages, & deaths, in this Parish, 
also the names of all persons, who shall be confirmed by the 
Bishop, & the names of all who shall become Communicants 
in this Church, to be kept by the Rector. 

A neglect in the keeping of Parish Register.s had been 
referred to in the Pastoral Letter of the Bishops' in 1 8 1 1 , 
and this perhaps led to the passage of the above vote. 
The Register of our parish seems to have been fairly kept 
with the exception of the names of communicants, which 
are not recorded previous to 1812. The requirements of 
the Canon requiring parochial reports annually appears to 
have been much neglected previous to the issuing of this 
Letter. 

Fofed, That suitable books be procured for the Librarian. 
That the Bell frame be painted with white lead, & that a 
close & high fence be made on the South side of the Church 
land which lies West of the Church & that the same be 
painted with white lead paint. 

SUBSCRIPTION FOR PAINTING CHURCH.

SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE BISHOP'S FUND. 
Episcopal Parish of Christ Church, City of Hartford. 

July 22, 1813. 
July 22. Whereas, in consequence of the decease of our 
late Bishop, the Right Rev. D''. Abraham Jarvis, it has be- 
come incumbent on the Diocess of Connecticut to elect a 
successor ; — And whereas no permanent provision having 
yet been made in this Diocess for the maintenance of a 
Bishop, it is manifestly unreasonable, if not impossible, to 
expect a suitable person to accept and perform the arduous 
and important duties of that Office ; and it has therefore be- 
come necessary, if the Church would have a Bishop, that a 
permanent Fund should be created by the united exertions 
of all Parishes in the Diocess, the income of which should be 
adequate to his respectable support for the time to come : 
And whereas, the annual Convention of the Episcopal 
Church, in this Diocess, held at Stratford in June last, took 
the necessary measures for producing a general subscription 
or contribution among all the members of the Church, 
in the whole Diocess, and in consequence of which it has be- 
come necessary for this Parish, as a part thereof, to do its 
fair proportion. Now therefore, in consideration of the prem- 
ises, We the subscribers — being members of the Protestant 
Episcopal Parish of Christ Church, in the City of Hartford, 
do hereby engage to pay, in three months from the date 
hereof, to John Morgan Esq^ Messrs. James Ward, Samuel 
Tudor, Jun. & Charles vSigourney, the Committee appointed 
for collecting subscriptions for the increase *of the Bishop's 
Fund in this Parish — the sums of money affixed to our re- 
spective names, on the two following conditions, to wit : — 
That the Committee aforesaid shall proceed to collect, in 
course, all the subscriptions made hereto. But that they 
shall not pay the amount thereof to the Treasurer of the 
Bishop's Fund, untill it appears to the Committee that the 
sum of at least Seven thousand Dollars has been raised by 
subscription or otherwise, in the different Parishes of the 
Diocess, to effect the proposed establishment of a permanent 
Fund for the support of the Bishop. And that provided it 
should so happen that the other Parishes in this Diocess de-

cline, or fail to perform their duty as regards subscribing to 
the aforesaid Fund, to such a degree that it may appear to 
the Committee aforesaid, that the object contemplated by 
this subscription is not likely to be effected, in the term of 
two years from this time, the Committee appointed to receive 
these subscriptions shall, then also, not pay the amount of 
the same, to the Treasurer of the Bishop's Fund, but shall 
refund to each of the subscribers the sums by them severally 
subscribed.

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 211 

Mr. Chase, who had been the rector of the parish since 
the retirement of Mr. Rayner in 1811, now wished to 
leave, and on Feb. 12, 1817, addressed a letter to the War- 
dens and Vestry, which is subjoined. He was a man of 
so much ability that he had filled his position with great 
satisfaction to the parish. There was nothing- which oc- 
curred in Hartford which led him to seek a dissolution. 
The diocese was without a bishop, but was under the 
superintendence of Bishop Hobart of New York. It is 
possible there had been some friction between the two 
men, for they were, both of them, of very decided opin- 
ions ; and further there had been some gossip about Mr. 
Chase being a possible candidate for the bishopric. He 
probably realized that the result would not be successful 
for himself, and so left a place which had been agreeable 
to him and to his friends and where he was doingf a grood 
work for the church. He had in him so much of an ad- 
venturous spirit and missionary zeal, that he was calcu- 
lated to make his mark wherever he should locate, and so 
found in the new settlements of Ohio full scope for the 
activity and perseverance which were characteristic of 
him. His genius would have been cramped in an old 
diocese, as it afforded no opportunity for the exercise of 
his peculiar gifts. 

As has been said, the work in our parish was very ac- 
ceptable. He possessed sufficient dignity to command 
the respect of all, and yet was gracious enough to receive 
their love and admiration. He was quite attentive to his 
duties as rector of the parish, and especially desired and 
sought out the young men. Meeting one on the street 
who was accidentally present at the services on a pre- 
vious Sunday, he said, " I saw you in my church yester- 
day, and should be pleased to see you again ; now a 
number of the young men of the parish meet in my 
study one evening in a week for conversation and I wish 
you would join them." This was done, and the young

man became a communicant and one of the most valued 
members of the parish. 

The only occasion on which I ever saw him was about 
1835 when, on a visit here, he preached in the church. 
His figure was large, and his manner commanded atten- 
tion. It would not have been like Bishop Chase if he 
had not spoken somewhat about himself and his work in 
the West. There were present some who had known 
him, when rector of the parish, officiating in the small 
and unadorned edifice on the opposite corner. The con- 
trast between the times of the past and those of the pres- 
ent was great, and gave opportunity for reminiscences 
and mention of his trials and successes. For more than 
once he begged the worshipers not to be impatient with 
him, for it was probably the last time he should ever ad- 
dress them. All felt that he was an aged servant of God, 
and gave him their full attention. It was one o'clock 
before the congregation was dismissed. 

Feb^ 12. Copy of a letter from the Rev. Philander Chase 
to the Wardens & Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford, Feby 
12, 1817. 

Gentlemen^ 

It is my wish that you join with me in procuring a 
canonical dissolution of the connexion which now subsists 
between the parish and myself. The reasons which have 
led me to the step of making this request, I have already ex- 
plained to you. They are of an extraneous nature, taking 
their rise from diocesan, not from parochial relations. With 
sentiments of unfeigned gratitude for the manifold instances 
of your kindness & liberality to me both in your official & 
private characters, 

I am Gentlemen, 

Your sincere friend & Humble Serv'.

return them. His furniture, a milch cow, and several shares 
of bank stock in Phoenix, Hartford, and Middletown banks 
are offered for sale. — Courant, Feb. 18, 181 7. 

On the same day he addressed a letter to the Standing 
Committee of the Diocese, as follows : —

Connecticut^ 

Gentlemen. 

It is my wish to obtain, as soon as may be, a canonical 
dissolution of the connexion now subsisting between me, & 
the parish of Christ Church, Hartford. 

The reasons which have led me to this determination are 
not founded in any disagreement with the people of whom 
I have the parochial charge. On the contrary, I take this 
opportunity to testify my entire satisfaction with them as a 
parish, and my gratitude for the many kindnesses I have 
rec'd from them as individuals. My reasons for leaving 
them are couched in this one sentence, — I am persuaded 
that I can be more useful to the Church of Christ and more 
happy in my own person elsewhere than in the Diocese of 
Cotinecticiit. 

An early attention to this subject will greatly oblige, 
Gentlemen, 

Your Most ob*. Serv'.

The Subscribers are the Wardens & Vestry of the Parish

214 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

When, in the course of Divine Providence, this Parish 
formed its temporal connexion with their Pastor, the Rev''. 
Philander Chase, the Wardens & Vestry thereof congratulated 
themselves upon an event, which they esteemed one of the 
most happy, which had ever befallen this Parish. No cir- 
cumstance has since transpired to impair in the least, the 
attachment which has subsisted between them, or to lessen 
the respect and esteem which the subscribers must continue 
to feel towards their Pastor. They can truly say, that in 
parting- with him, they feel a degree of regret & sorrow, 
difficult for them to express ; of regret that they are to be 
deprived of the services of a Clergyman, which have been 
eminently useful among them, & which certainly have been 
followed by the blessing of God; of sorrow that he removes 
to a part of the Country, so distant, that it is not probable, 
they will meet again on this side the grave. Viewing as they 
do, the events of this world, as under the Superintendance of 
a wise Providence, they are compelled to acquiesce in his re- 
moval, and cannot doubt that all is designed for the best. 
And while they add their sincere & fervent wishes for the 
health & the temporal welfare of himself & his family, they 
would express their opinion, that his zeal and piety are 
eminently adapted to raise up the Church, and extend 
the influence of religion, & their hope & belief that his 
exertions may be as successful in the Western Country as 
they have been in this.

The subscribers being the Wardens of Christ Church

copies of a letter addressed by the Rev". Philander Chase, to 
the Wardens & Vestry of this Church, soliciting their concur- 
rence in obtaining a canonical dissolution of the connexion

as the head protempore of the Church in this Diocess, an 
official & canonical dissolution of the connexion which 
existed between this parish, and its Pastor aforesaid, the

They would further ask of you, the favour, if in your 
view it be proper, of a general license for the Wardens of 
this Church to employ a respectable & suitable person, to 
read the prayers of the Chiirch, on Sundays, rather than to 
have the Church shut up, while the parish continues without 
a settled minister. It is the determination of this parish, of

directing to them any clergyman, who may find it convenient 
to travel this way. They beg leave to subscribe themselves

March 8, 1817. Michael Olcott [ ^^^^^^^ 

Jpri/ S', P. Voted that the thanks of this meeting be pre- 
sented to Charles Sigourney for his faithful services in per- 
forming the duties of Clerk of this Parish. 

I cannot better begin an account of Charles Sigourney 
than by quoting what is said of him by his wife, in her 
" Letters of Life." 

" He was a native of Boston, and of a family of the highest 
respectability. To me it was a source both of gratulation and 
pride, that he should have descended from that pious race of 
Huguenots, who left their fair clime of birth for conscience 
sake, and emigrated to this New World soon after the revoca- 
tion of the Edict of Nantes. His father Mr. Charles Sisfour- 
ney, of Boston, was the third in descent from Mr. Andrew 
Sigourney, who with his son Andrew came to this country 
from France in 1686. His mother, whose name was Frazer, 
was of Scottish ancestry, and dying while he was yet a child, 
his father took him to England and placed him at an excellent 
school at Hampstead. Here under a strictness of discipline 
that would not be tolerated in Young America, he was inured 
to habits of obedience, order, and application. His acquaint- 
ance with the studies that he pursued was eminently thorough 
and accurate. Particularly was the grammatical construction 
of the Latin and French so well required, that though he left 
school at a very early age, their knowledge remained with 
him unimpaired, to the close of his life." 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 217 

He remained in his father's mercantile employment 
until he came to Hartford in 1799. I use the words of 
Mr. William Francis, who was long his faithful and con- 
fidential clerk. 

" At the age of twenty-one he opened a store for the sale 
of hardware & other goods on the east side of Main street, 
near the present Exchange corner. He had a large acquaint- 
ance among the manufacturers of Birmingham & Sheffield, 
from whom he imported direct, such goods as he could find 
a market for here. His business gradually increased, doing 
business alone, until 1825, when he formed a co-partnership 
with Charles Munn, & built the block of stores 343 to 349 
Main street. Their business was then removed to No. 343, 
the same premises now occupied by Francis & Co. In 1830 
Mr. Mimn retired, and at about the same time he formed a 
partnership with Henry C. Porter. In 1837 Mr. Porter 
retired, & he took as a partner his son Charles H. Sigourney, 
which continued until his death in 1854. 

" He was an erect, medium sized man, with a piercing 
eye, and an intellectual countenance. He was fond of litera- 
ture, could read fluently in Latin, Greek, & French; was full 
of quotations from distinguished authors; could converse on 
almost every subject, was decided in his opinions, republican 
in politics, &: was proud of his ancestry. In personal appear- 
ance there was something of a reminder of aristocratic 
antecedents, but in reasoning he was purely democratic. He 
was active in town affairs, & in the Church' was a leading 
man; a Trustee of Washington, now Trinity College, Presi- 
dent of the Phcjenix Bank, a man of sound judgment & strict 
integrity." 

Mr. Sigourney, as known to most of us in later years, 
was of medium size, rather thin, and somewhat stooping ; 
in cold weather he was clad in a blue camlet cloak, to 
which he seemed to be extremely partial. His manner 
was exceedingly polite and cordial ; his face beamed with 
intelligence ; he expressed himself clearly and distinctly ; 



2l8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

he never appeared to be in a hurry ; if a thing was to be 
done or said, he took his own time for it. It was not 
obstinacy which made him decided in his opinions, for 
decision came from close examination and calm judg- 
ment. So when he subscribed three hundred and sixty 
dollars towards a new church, " on condition the Parish 
Fund be not invested in the Church Stock," the subscription 
was not paid, because the stipulation was violated. It 
was from no unwillingness to part with his money, for he 
was strongly in favor of the new building, and was, and 
ever had been, a generous contributor. It was an exempli- 
fication of that point in his character which led him to 
look at principles existing in a matter, probe it to the 
bottom, and stand by his answer. Such a man is firm on 
his foundation ; he is not moved by every idle word, or 
blown about by every wind of doctrine. He is safe as a 
counselor, and firm as a friend ; he has not part either 
with flattery or dissimulation ; you may know where to 
find him always. He was so methodical that a man with- 
out method might term him a pedant ; he was so plain and 
concise in his speech, that a fickle one might have called 
him unnecessarily particular and direct, but a wise one 
would say, he is good, honest, conscientious, and reliable. 
The " piercing eye " of which Mr. Francis speaks, was 
a marked feature in his face ; it was brilliant in expression 
and looked at you when the mouth spoke. Lydia Huntley, 
who had vowed to be " a maiden all forlorn," and never 
to leave her school or its pupils, was pierced through and 
through by the blind archer. With a frankness which is 
charming, and a minuteness which is delightful, she thus 
describes her conversion. "Nevertheless, as I plodded my 
way to and from my school house, a pair of deep-set and 
most expressive black eyes sometimes encountered mine, 
and spoke unutterable things. They were the property of 
a gentleman of striking physiognomy, and the elegant 
manners of the olden school." It is not necessary to quote

farther. Lydia Huntley in due time gave up her school, 
and became Lydia Huntley Sigourney, and made him a 
most estimable wife. 

But it is chiefly in connection with our parish that Mr. 
Sigourney becomes most interesting to us. 

He was probably connected with it soon after coming 
to Hartford, and was in 1803 chosen as its Clerk. This 
duty was most faithfully performed by him until 181 7, 
when he retired, and the resolution at the beginning of 
this sketch was passed. It was a well-deserved testimonial 
to a most faithful and painstaking officer. The 
records bear evidence of his great care, precision, and 
neatness ; his chirography was admirable. If all the clerks 
of the parish had been as careful in filing and preserving 
the manuscripts which came into their hands, the task of 
the historian in telling his story would have been rendered 
easier. 

He was chosen as Warden for a number of years, and 
was frequently appointed upon committees, and ever 
maintained a lively interest in the parish ; he may be 
classed among its most valuable members. He was a true 
Connecticut Churchman and Christian gentleman, devoted 
to the Episcopal Church, perfectly satisfied with its doc- 
trines, its liturgy, its noble, pleasant ways. He was learned 
in its defense, more learned perhaps than any other 
layman of the parish ; but he was not offensively conten- 
tious, nor did he consider it to be his duty to berate all 
who differed from him in opinion ; his ways were the ways 
of pleasantness and peace. He possessed, as may well be 
expected, a delicate sense of the beauties of Nature, and 
the charms of Art. The elegant mansion which was built 
after his own designs, the tasteful layout of the grounds, 
the abundant gardens with their fruits and flowers, the 
trees and shrubs, all gave evidence of a skill which was 
natural, and which had been increased by study. The 
description by his wife of 'their manner of life in this place.

including the domestic details, is exceedingly interesting, 
and moreover is quite valuable, as showing how at this 
comparatively late period, the mistress of the house was 
concerned in its management. A sympathetic feeling 
made his married life a beautiful and happy one. The 
minute, though somewhat sentimental account which she 
gives of their lives, shows us how much of enjoyment and 
pure pleasure there may be in this world ; they both had 
their trials, but they had their comforts and blessings also. 

" One day the store was cold," — this is the story of Mr. 
Francis, — " and he walked home in the afternoon before 
the usual time ; he was chilled, and a few minutes later, in 
front of his fireplace, he suddenly expired from apoplexy."

May 28. V. Voted., That Charles Sigourney be empow- 
ered to make such an arrangment with Mr. Clerc for the 
accomodation of the Deaf & Dumb in this city as he may 
judge proper. 

Mr. Laurent Clerc came from France, and was em- 
ployed as a teacher in the Asylum for the Deaf and 
Dumb. He probably was a Roman Catholic, and as there 
were no churches of that faith in the town, and because 
many of the supporters of the Asylum belonged to the 
Episcopal Church, he naturally affiliated with them. The 
vote was evidently intended to provide seats for Mr. Clerc 
and such pupils as might attend a religious service. 
Though they might not understand what was said and 
done elsewhere, yet they could follow the different parts 
of the service in the prayer-book, in an Episcopal Church. 

This sketch of the City Hotel building, and of the 
one south of it, was found amongst the rubbish left by the 
Hartford Graphic Company, after removal from its rooms 
over the store occupied by Nichols & Humphrey. It had

been carefully preserved by Mrs. Toucey and was loaned 
me by Mr. George Beach. 

It is stated by Mr. Weld- that for the first year the 
little school " was kept in the south part of a building, 
now, 1848, forming a portion of the well-known establish- 
ment called the City Hotel, where also the family of 
the Asylum resided, ... At the commencement of 
the second year the school was removed to apartments at 
No. 15 Prospect Street." 

This fine drawing of the building has never been used, 
to my knowledge, nor do I know why it was made ; but it 
was probably the work of Elkanah Tisdale,t or Mr. 
Basset, who were workmen, or co-partners in the company, 
and was designed perhaps for some of their operations. 
The hotel is supposed to have been built early in the 
century. The small building next to it on the left was 
occupied by Noah Webster, when he wrote his famous 
Spelling Book, it is said. 

"The designer of the establishment was Elkanah Tis- 
dale, a fat, facetious gentleman — a miniature painter by 
profession, but a man of some literary taste, and admirable 
humor in anecdote. He illustrated with great cleverness, the 
handsome edition of the Echo, published by Isaac Riley, 
brother-in-law of Dwight and Alsop, two of the principal 
authors — though it professes to be from the Porcupine 
Press, and by Pasquin Petronius."|

222 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Mr. George Brinley of Boston, in a letter to Mr. 
Sigourney of March I3tli, had brought to his attention 
the name of Mr. Jonathan M. Wainwright, as a candidate 
for the parish, and writes : — 

" You no doubt are now seeking a candidate to supply 
Mr. C's place, & the object of this communication, is to bring 
to your notice Mr. Jon^. M. Wainwright at present an 
instructor in Rhetorick in Harvard University — officiates at 
the Churches vacant in this vicinity — principally at the 
Episcopal Church in Cambridge. He is a young gentleman 
of respectability ; of the most imexceptionable character, 
ardent & sincere in the performance of his duties, & is much 
beloved as a man, & reads to great satisfaction." 

On the 24th, he again writes : — 

" I duly rec'd your favor of recent date, & went immedi- 
ately to Cambridge, & had an interview with Mr. Wainwright. 
I think he appeared pleased with the invitation, but seemed 
to think it difficult to visit you so early as you expressed 
a wish. I thought it most advisable to put your letter to me 
in his hands, requesting him to open a correspondence 
directly with you on the subject, which he said he would do, 
. . . I have not seen him since, but hope he will soon 
be with you." 

Mr. Benjamin Greene, of March 1 5th, says : — 

" I have seen Mr. Jon'. Wainwright. He is not in Deacons 
Orders, but can be ordained, he says, at any time. He will 
take your proposal into contemplation, & give an answer 
next week, which I will transmit you." 

MR. WAINWRIGHT TO MR. SIGOURNEY. 

Sir : — Mr. Brinley did me the favor to call upon me yes- 
terday, for the purpose of communicating the substance of a 
letter which he had just received from you. Before this, 
however, I had seen Mr. Greene, & had requested him to say 
in reply to your letter to him, that I would take the subject 
of it into immediate consideration. As I am now acquainted

with the wishes of your church, Mr. Brinley thinks I had 
better reply myself, rather than to do it by his assistance, or 
that of Mr. Greene. I therefore take the liberty of address- 
ing you. I must request you to say to the Wardens & Vestry, 
that I will with pleasure officiate in your church during the 
spring- & summer months, or such a portion of them as they 
shall think proper. But I am sorry to say that it will be en- 
tirely out of my power to be with you as early as they request. 
I am at present connected with the University, & I learn from 
the President that my duties cannot conveniently be dis- 
pensed with sooner than the first week in Easter. One of 
our college quarter-days falls this year in passion week, & 
the only tutor who, with such short notice, could take my 
place at that time, is about to leave college. I regret very 
much that it happens so, for it would afford me sincere grati- 
fication to unite with your church in the solemn services of 
passion week. I can engage to be with you, God willing, on 
the second Sunday after Easter. Will you be so good as to 
write to me, & let me know whether this arrangement meets 
the wishes of the Wardens & Vestry. I am not at present 
in Orders, but that will cause no delay. I have been ready 
for some time, & the Bishop has informed me that he will 
ordain me at any time with the previous notice of a day or 
two. If, therefore, it shall be concluded that I visit you, I 
will write to the Bishop, & take Bristol in my way to Hart- 
ford.

expense of living in Hartford.

the cause of the delay.

Dear Sir. 

I am very sorry that I shall be unable to fulfil my en- 
gagement, & be with you next Sunday. I should have

been able had I not been disappointed in my plans. I wrote 
to the Bishop requesting him to ordain me tomorrow at 
Bristol : in this case I should have proceeded immediately 
to Hartford the next day, & have arrived there before the 
20"'. But the Bishop returned me an answer just before I 
received your letter, saying that he could not ordain me on 
Thursday, on account of a convention to be held in R. I. 
but that he would ordain me in Providence the Sunday be- 
fore (that was last Sunday). I accordingly left my business 
in Cambridge & immediately set off for Providence, from 
whence I returned last night. In this way I have been put 
back five davs. I shall finish what I have to do at Cam- 
bridge by the end of this week, I shall visit my friends at 
the beginning of next, & be in Hartford by friday, at the 
latest. I have been thus particular, that you may see that 
the circumstances which have delayed me, were without my 
control. 

Your obd' serv' 

JON* M. WAINWRIGHT. 

There is written on the back of the letter in pencil, 
by Mr. S. and sent to some one whose opinion he doubt- 
less was anxious to obtain, " I hope you will come and 
see Mr. Wainwright w4ien he arrives. He will stay for 
the present with me. Will you sit with us next Sunday.'.' 

He was the first person ordained as Priest in the old 
church, the only previous ordination being that of Bird- 
sey G. Noble as Deacon, June 2, 18 12. He was paid four 
hundred dollars for services to Jan. i, 181 8, and Mr. 
Tudor was directed to "be paid five dollars pr week for 
his board and lodging up to ist Jan^'." In the Treasur- 
er's book there is credited as paid Jan. 5, 181 8, $400 to 
Rev. Mr. Wainwright for services to ist inst., and $173.32

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 225 

Oct. 18. A parish meeting was held this clay, "to take 
into consideration the subject of settling the Rev. J. M. 
Wainwright* as Pastor & Rector," and it was, 

Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry of this Parish be em- 
powered to engage the Rev. Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright, 
to officiate as the Rector of this Parish. 

Voted, That the Parish agree to pay the Rev. J. M. Wain- 
wright for his services, One Thousand dollars per annum, to 
be paid in quarterly payments, to commence on the ist of 
January next, so long as he shall continue their rector. 

1818. 

March 2j. Voted, That the thanks of this Parish be pre- 
sented James Ward for his long and faithful services as a 
Vestryman. 

The name of James JWrrd first appears as one of the 
signers to an agreement forming " themselves into a 
Religious vSociety by the stile and title of the Episcopal 
Society of the City of Hartford," in vSept., 1796. He soon 
became an active member, and was chosen one of the 
Vestry in 1799. He was elected Treasurer in 1801, being 
apparently the first Treasurer of the Society : it appears 
that the financial matters had previously been adminis- 
tered by committees of the Vestry. He continued in 
office until 1 S04. He was a frequent and generous con- 
tributor to the numerous subscriptions whi.ch were made 
in the early clays of the parish. 

Col. Ward was born in Guilford, Feb. 2, 1768, and 
probably came to Hartford early in life, as is indicated 
by the following advertisement in the Connecticut Courant. 



* " Di" Wainwright was born at Liverpool in 1792, of parents who 
were citizens of the United States, but who at that date were on a visit 
to England. He came to this country at the age of eleven, was edu- 
cated at Cambridge, and was instituted rector of Christ Church in 1815."

JAMES WARD. 

To us as members of the parish, he is chiefly to be 
remembered and commended as a statmch churchman, 
faithftil and devoted, willing at all times to bear his 
share of religious duties and burdens. He believed in 
the Protestant Episcopal Church ; he labored for its pros- 
perity ; he gave liberally of his means for its support. 
His devotion to the Church was no mere matter of sen- 
timent : though attached to the rectors of the parish and 
supporting them in their administrations, he yet had a 
high idea of his loyalty to the Church itself. He was 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 227 

no sulker in the tent, when there was dut}^ to be done. 
He all through his life recognized the obligation of 
attendance upon public religious worship, and even in 
old age set a glorious example to those who are kept at 
home by a slight indisposition, or by a few clouds in the 
sky. As he lived in a time when the differences in re- 
ligious opinions were strongly marked, so he must have 
been engaged in controversies, which generally are more 
vexatious than profitable. But his general cheerfulness, 
his amiability, his natural good nature, his quick and 
ready wit, and that tact which a man rarely possesses 
unless it is born with him, of turning aside a conversa- 
tion which has become unprofitable, or of bringing it 
immediately to a close, made him numerous friends, and 
always an agreeable companion. His memory was 
always good, and it was a pleasure to him to refer to the 
times which were past, which were even then the "good 
old times," faithfully believed in by every succeeding 
generation as better than ever before experienced. As 
remembered by some of us he was a stout, broad-should- 
ered man, of about five feet six inches in height, quick in 
his movements, with a pleasant face, and sparkling eyes. 
He often was present at the meetings of the Historical 
Society, where he presided with satisfaction, and enter- 
tained us with interesting anecdotes. The dignity of 
his office was considered as in no ways impaired by a 
free relation of his remembrance of events and of men. 

His services on the committee for building the present 
church were very important, and were so recognized. 
He had a practical talent for work, which is always valu- 
able in whatever is undertaken. 

He was commissioned as Commissary-General in the 
war of 1 81 2, and held that office for many years. As it 
was not a salaried office, it probably was not eagerly 
sought for, and Col. Ward was satisfied with the honor 
which pertained to the holding of it. He had a talent 



228 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

for military affairs, and a love for the authority which is 
carried with it. To be in active service, whether in the 
militia, or the city fire department, or various corpora- 
tions, suited well his active temperament. 

For many years he was in partnership with Roswell 
Bartholomew, to which was afterwards added Charles 
Brainard, and the firm long carried on business as gold- 
smiths and coppersmiths, as mentioned by Mr. Hoadly. 
All of them were churchmen, and contributed liberally 
to the support of the parish. He was the owner of the 
sawmill on Sheldon Street, but did not attend to the 
operating of it himself. 

ADVERTISEMENT. 

James Ward having taken Mr. Roswell Bartholomew 
into partnership, business at the sign of the Tea Kettle, near 
the bridge, will be done imder the firm of Ward & Bartholo- 
mew, May 8.- — {Cotirant, Ma}' i6, 1804.) 

He was married by Rev. Abel Flint, Sept., 1803, to 
Miss Ruth Butler, daughter of Mr. Jonathan Butler of 
this city. He died, after a few hours' illness, Oct. 26, 
1856, at his residence, 175 Main Street. 

Ruth, dau. of Jonathan and Ruth (Benton) Butler, 
was b. July 17, 1773; d. Nov. 12, 1844. 

From the Coitrant, October 28, 1856: — 

"Colonel James Ward's funeral is to be solemnized this 
afternoon, at half past two o'clock, at Christ Church. The 
Colonel was 89 years of age. He was widely known as a 
worthy citizen and honest man — kind hearted and affable 
to all — and always ready to take his share of the public 
burdens. He was formerly Chief Engineer of the Hart- 
ford Fire Department, and has alw^ays taken a lively interest 
in the doings of the firemen. Fie has been an active mem- 
ber of the Historical Society, remarkably constant in his 
attq,ndance upon their meetings. One of the earliest friends 
of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum, Col. Ward contributed at the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 229 

request of his beloved friend and ph3\sician, Dr. Mason F. 
Cogswell, to the fund raised to send Gallaudet abroad on 
his mission of inquiry and examination as to the feasibility 
of instructing- the Deaf and Dumb. 

" Col. Ward was also liberal and zealous in founding the 
Retreat for the Insane, and has through life been disposed to 
do what he could to alleviate the sorrows of his fellow men. 
He was a prominent member of the Masonic Order, and his 
figure has long been familiar to our citizens in all Masonic, 
Military, Firemen's, or Patriotic processions and celebrations. 
Engine Co. No. i is draped in mourning on his account ; and 
funeral honors will be paid him by the Masons, the Military, 
and the Firemen. The procession starts from Col. Ward's 
house, 175 Main Street, at 2 o'clock." 

A notable man in this firm of Ward, Bartholomew & 
Brainard was Rosi^'fll BartJiolomezv. If he had not such a 
pressing love for distinction and public notice as Col. 
Ward, he was not less earnest and devoted to his busi- 
ness, and in his love for the Episcopal Church. 

The last mention in the records of his name was on 
April 17, 1830, when Mr. Imlay was appointed on a com- 
mittee to supply " the place of the late jMr. Bartholomew." 
He was born in Harwinton, January 28, 1781, and was 
the son of Mr. Andrew Bartholomew, and grandson of 
Rev. Andrew Bartholomew, pastor of the Congregational 
church in that place. He married Sa}ly Johnson 
Stone, of Guilford, Nov. 26, 18 18. He "learned the 
silversmith's trade with Beach & Ward, and in 1804 
was taken into partnership with James Ward ; " the same 
year he was made a voter. His name is first mentioned 
in the parish records April 3, 1809, when he was chosen 
as one of the vestrymen. He was a frequent and gener- 
ous contributor to the numerous subscriptions, which in 
the early days were necessary supplements to the tax and 
rent of the pews for the support of the parish. He was 
intelligent, quiet, and amiable, devoted to his church, and 
beloved by all. His residence was at the present No. 187 



230 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Main Street. The place of business of Ward, Bartholo- 
mew & Brainard was near, and they all lived within a 
stone's throw of one another. He died April 7, 1830, and 
it is reported that his funeral was the first one attended 
in the new church. 

Charles Brainard was the third member of the firm of 
Ward, Bartholomew & Brainard. His name first appears 
in the list of persons a.ssessed for taxes in 1 809, when he 
paid a tax of ten dollars and twenty cents. He was ap- 
pointed to warn all the members of the parish in Hart- 
ford of a parish meeting, and made return that he had 
done the same according- to law " at least five days " 
before the day appointed. He was admitted into partner- 
ship with Ward & Bartholomew, Januar}- 31, 18 14, and 
was in business imtil his death. 

Ward, Bartholomew & Brainard contributed twenty 
dollars " for the purchase of two stoves, pipe, and for 
building two chimneys for same, to warm the church." 
Previous to this the church had not been warmed. In 
181 7 he was appointed "collector of the tax, and also of 
the pew rents." He was a member of the Vestry in 1823 
and the two succeeding years, and appears to have been 
a faithful member of the parish, doing his duty humbly 
and quietly in all the positions in which he was placed. 

THE COMMUNION SILVER OF CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD.

made to the Parish, although the date of presentation of 
some of them is anticipated. 

[The solid silver plate of Christ Church, consists of 
eight pieces, as follows : — 

1. One flagon; tankard form. 

2. Two chalices. 

3. One credence paten. 

4. One small paten (distributing). 

5. Two plates for collections. 

6. One alms basin. 

1. The flagon, /x SJb in. is of the tankard pattern, not 
uncommon in English churches early in the 1 8th century. 
It bears no marks indicating how it came into the posses- 
sion of the parish, whether by purchase or donation. It 
is divided at half height into two sections, an upper and a 
lower, by a horizontal rim or moulding. The upper 
section has on one side the mouth or spout, and on 
the opposite side a "name-plate," a place for an inscrip- 
tion. The lower section is clasped from the base b}^ 
twelve raised points of two conventional designs. The 
body of the flagon is plain, /. c. bears no engraving or 
tracery, except that which encloses the "name-plate." 
Under the base are to be found, standard, date, and maker's 
marks, which when interpreted according to Cripp's " Old 
English Plate," indicate as the "date 1711-1736." (p. 418.) 
Maker, Isaac Ribouleau, entered 1720. (p. 397.) 

2. The iivo chalices {jV^ x 3j'8 in.) are fd^<g shaped, per- 
fectly plain, except a beading where the cup joins the 
handle. The latter curves down and outwards into a 
standard, or base (>^ inch high and 354 in diameter), 
with milled center, and beaded upper edge. 

3. The credence paten (1134X61-J in.) is of plain bur- 
nished silver ; has a slightly raised edge, or rim. Its base 
or foot is 5 in. in diameter, and is circular. 



232 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

4. The smaller, or distributing paten, is 10^ in. in 
diameter, and perfectly plain. These two patens bear in 
the center of their discs, the inscription —

Mrs. Emily Phillips

5. The tu'o '' eontributioii'' plates Uo^^g in. in diameter), 
are of sterling silver, similar in style to the paten, plain, 
and without inscription. 

6. The large silver alms basin (i43/( inches in diam- 
eter, and two inches deep) has engraved in its center a 
large Greek cross, and on the broad margin the legend, 
" Lord, of thine own have we given thee." Underneath 
is found the inscription : " 4* Christ Church Hartford, Con- 
necticut, A. D. 1875, the gift of G. W. R. +" 

In addition to the silver plates mentioned above, there 
are, 

1. Tzvo '^ contribntioji''' plates of j^lated ware, similar, 
if not identical, in size and design to No, 5 above. 

2. Three brass plates (12)4^ in. X 2 in. deep), used in 
alms gathering, given in memory of Frances Heywood. 
These three have leg^ends eno^raved on their outer rim : 
" Blessed be he that provideth for the sick and needy ; " 
" God loveth a cheerful giver ; " " Give alms of thy goods." 

Each one has engraved on the under side of the bowl, 
" Christ Church, Hartford," and one has this inscription :

A search on the Treasurer's book shows that fifty five 
dollars was paid R. Bartholomew for "Meacham's bill," in 
May 181 1 ; and thirty-three dollars for the "bal. of his 
account Oct. 3," but the bill itself is not found on file. On 
Jan. 20, 1 82 1, there was paid W. and B. for bills " for com- 
munion furniture, $30.07; " unfortunately ther.e is no specific 
mention of the piece or pieces. In 1824, March 20th, the bill 
of W. B. and B. was paid, amounting to $1 1 5.96 ; the items 
of the bill are not given. The bills for 1 8 1 1 may have been 
partly for the bell, the greater part having been raised by 
subscription," as there is now no positive authority that 
W. and B. were the makers of any parts of the " commu- 
nion furniture," except that in their bill of 1821. How- 
ever, as Beach & Ward, and James Ward, and Ward, 
Bartholomew & Brainard, were makers and dealers in

such and like articles, it is fair to conclude that some 
pieces came from their hands, possibly by purchase, possi- 
bly from pious donations. 

FURTHER INFORMATION. 

It was suspected that the tankard was not originally 
intended for communion purposes, and to identify the 
marks upon it, it was taken to New York and submitted 
to the inspection of Mr. Buck, of the Gorham Manufactur- 
ing Compan3% by Mr. Saltonstall, who reports as follows : 

May 9, 1895. 
Dear Doctor: — I took the tankard — flagon — belonging 
to the set of Communion vessels to N. Y. Mr. Buck found 
no difficulty in giving its history. It was made in 1726 at 
London, by Isaac Ribouleau, a French Huguenot, whose 
mark was entered 1720. 

It weighs 55 ozs, 10 pwts. The spout was clumsily 
added after the tankard was made. The inscription plate, 
the flange, and the finial of the cover were also put on after 
the body of the vessel was made. 

Yours cordiall)", 

L. W. SALTONSTALL. 

Evidently, originall}^ the flagon was a two-handled 
Loving Cup. Within the name-plate there was a design 
or inscription which has been erased so that a few unin- 
telligible lines only remain ; the flagon is a trifle thinner 
at this place. The cover is of a similar design with the 
sides of the flagon, but is not of equal workmanship ; it is 
clear, also, that the fixing of the spout or lip to the side of 
the flagon was subsequent to its original manufacture. 

The only further reference to this subject which I 
have been able to find is in " an account of monies col- 
lected at the altar of Christ Church, Hartford (Philan' 
Chase, Rec^), with their disbursements." This is the ac- 
count which is annually rendered by the Rector to the 
Vestry. Sept. 3, 18 16, he reports, " paid to Ward, Barthol- 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 235 

omew & Brainard for Plate not deliv''. & pr. Re'', fift}- 
dolls." — and again, "181 7, Feb. 26, paid to Mess". Ward, 
Bartholo''' & Brainard for plate not delivered b}?- direction 
of the Vestry, 10.00." 

It is to be reofretted that neither tradition nor research 
gives us any further light as to this vessel. A few points 
were clearly established in the examination by Mr. Buck, 
which fixes its date and maker, and strengthens the con- 
jectures which have been stated. The changes and ad- 
ditions to the flagon were undoubtedl}" made here in 
Hartford. But who was the original owner ; was it his by 
gift or purchase, and through whom did it come into the 
possession of the Parish ? 

CONCERNING CHURCHING. 

In the "account of monies collected at the altar," re- 
ferred to above, there is mention made among the receipts, 
of two dollars, "offered by a woman at Her Churching" 
Dec. 29, 1 8 16; and among the expenditures the next day, 

" paid to Mrs. C. (about to be confined in child bed) 

the amt. of Mrs. H. ' offer'g when Churched, two 

dollars." I find no reference to this ancient custom of 
" churching," in any records of the parish, nor can I find 
any parishioner who has known of the use of the office. 
An enquiry among the clergy reveals but little more, ex- 
cept that in a few instances it has been used by former 
members of the Church of England. If the rubric which 
allows the " concluding prayer alone," to be said, is not 
followed, then the usual one for "a recovery from sick-

A FAITHFUL CHURCmiAN. 

St-pt. ~. \ . ]'ol<-J, That Air. Samuel Taylor have the privi- 
lege to take from the Parish Library such sermons as he 
may need, to be used in the desk of the Church in Glaston- 
bury. 

The following statement is furnished bv his grandson, 
]Mr. Samuel Taylor, of this city : 

"Samuel Taylor was born in Derby, England, on the 31st 
of March, 1777, and died at the residence of his son Edwiu, 
in Hartford, du the 28th of December, 1S59, in his 8ist year. 
He came to America at the age of sixteen, locating first in 
New York city, but owing to the prevalence of yellow fever, 
left by schooner Victory, for the Connecticut river, landing at 
Portland, at which Place he married Sarah (Sally) Pember- 
ton, on the i6th of April, 179S. She was the daughter of P. 
C Pemberton and Mary (Johnson) Pemberton. Soon after 
he went to South Glastonbury, where he continued his resi- 
dence during the remainder of his life. They had a family 
of eleven children, all of whom lived to advanced age. 

'' For forty yeai^s he officiated each Sunday at St. Luke's 
Church when a minister was not to be had, and it is safe to 
say that he read the Church service for more than half of 
that time, that the Church might not be closed, his sermons 
having been drawn from Christ Church Library, as men- 
tioned in the vote. 

"His son Francis is the present Senior Warden of St. 
Luke's. Another son, Edwin, was warden of St. John's, Hart- 
ford ; and another son is the Rev. Joseph P. Taylor, D.D., 
of Plainfield, New Jersey, a minister of the Episcopal Church. 
His orandsons Samuel and Edwin P. Tavlor have been

death of the subject of this sketch was printed in the Church 
'Calendar,' on the 9th of January, 185S, by the Rev. Alonzo 
B. Chapin, D.D." 

There are not many families which have maintained 
such a staunch adherence to the Episcopal Church, or 
who have lived to see such a great increase in its member- 
.ship. I remember Mr. Taylor as he appeared in the latter 
days of his life. He was most venerable and benevolent, 
and as good a specimen of an " old-fashioned Connecticut 
Churchman" as is often to be found, and perhaps more 
often to be found in our country parishes, than in tho.se of 
our cities. His devotion had its outcome in attending 
to his duties and obligations in public religious worship, 
and in striving to live in peace and charity with all men. 

He was chosen as Vestryman of St. Luke's in 1809, 
and was one of the Wardens from 1812 to 1857.

Rev''. Philander Chase, on his appointment by the Diocese 
of Ohio — their Bishop. That said Letter shall be .signed by 
the Wardens and Vestry of this Pari.sh and forwarded without

bution of Prayer Books, and for other purposes.

had been adopted by the Diocesan Convention held in

A KINDLY TRIBUTE TO MR. CHASE. 

When j\Ir. Chase had preached his last sermon and 
administered his last offices in Christ Church on Sunday, 
the second of March, 18 17, his connection with the parish 
had ceased. He was penetrating enough to foresee that 
there would be little peace for one of his constitution to 
remain in Connecticut, and judicious enough to conclude 
that his happiness would be increased by removal. It 
was in his nature to be so much of a leader, that he was 
not patient to remain as a subaltern. So as he was quick 
to decide and energetic to execute, it did not take him 
long to discern that his line of duty led to the great 
" wilderness " in Ohio. 

In his " Reminiscences," he says, " The writer walked 
from church to his home, up Burr Street, alone. ' Cold 
blew the night wind, drifting fast the snow fell,' and 
that evening the roads were unusually obstructed ; yet 
the pious Canfield, one of his communicants, who both 
owned and drove the stage coach, called for him early on 
Monday morning. Leaving his wife and youngest child, 
then one year old, in his peaceful home in Hartford, the 
writer entered on his melancholy journey to the west. It 
is a long road, nearly four hundred miles, from Hartford 
to Buffalo. Coach bodies set on runners, instead of 
wheels, was the mode of travelling. This in America is 
a kind of inland navigation. The snow lasted till we got 
to Canandaigua ; thence we went on wheels." 

He was by nature and strength of will fitted to become 
a "pioneer bishop." If he had not that patient tact 
which overcomes difficulties by conciliation and delay, it 
only shows that he did not possess some of the virtues 
which are characteristic of some men. He was both reso- 
lute and persistent. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 239 

He entered upon his duties immediately on his arrival 
in Ohio. He went there without being sent ; there was 
no corporate or ecclesiastical authority behind him to 
mark out, or to restrain, or to bind ; of his own self will 
he went to do his Master's work, and he did it energeti- 
cally. Though appointed the principal of a school in 
Worthington, yet he appears to have been closely occu- 
pied in missionary work in northern Ohio. The condi- 
tion of the country and of the church might afford a 
seeming justification, which would not be given now. 

"On the 5th of January, 1818, there was holden, ac- 
cording to previous notice very generally given, a con- 
vention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Ohio, at 
Columbus, nearly in the center of the state. It consisted 
of two clergymen, in full orders, and nine delegates 
only." It was resolved to hold a' Diocesan convention on 
the first Monday of June following, and at this conven- 
vention ]\Ir. Chase was unanimously chosen as Bishop. 
Notice was sent to the standing committees of the sev- 
eral dioceses, and he " set off for Philadelphia for conse- 
cration ; he soon learned that there was opposition or a 
refusal to act at all, on the part of some. The objections 
however were removed, and he was consecrated on the 
11"' of February, 18 19, by Bishop White, there being- 
present and assisting, Bishops Hobart, of New York, 
Kemp, of Maryland, and Croes of New Jersey." 

This preliminar}'- account seemed to be necessary to 
explain the following letter, which was dictated undoubt- 
edly by the friendship of his former parishioners in Hart- 
ford, and not by any influence "outside of the state." 

Oif 7. The following letter was sent to the vStanding

election and consecration of the Rev'' Philander Chase, at 
present the Bishop Elect of the Diocese or State of Ohio, 
The Rev. Mr. Chase was for man}^ years the Rector of 
Christ Church in this City, and the subscribers from a long 
and intimate acquaintance with him, are persuaded they 
possess a correct and entire knowledge of his character, 
which they have had the best opportunities of observing 
and understanding. From a belief that the evidence of 
those who best knew him will be desirable and must be ap- 
preciated, they feel it therefore, not only to be their duty at 
this juncture to come forward with what testimony they can 
give concerning him, but that it would be an act of injustice 
in them towards their late Pastor to withhold the expression 
of that testimony which it is in their power to bear towards 
the excellence of his moral character, and his qualifications 
(in their opinion at least) for the dignified grade in the min- 
istry to which he has been elected. 

The Rev'"' Mr. Chase began to officiate in this Parish in 
the autumn of 1811, and quitted it in the spring of 1817. 
During the period of his residence here, no parish Clergy- 
man could have performed his parochial duties in a more 
exemplary manner. A spirit of ptirity, the first and most 
essential requisite of the clerical character, appeared in all 
his actions and conversation, in private as well as in public ; 
and in him seemed to act as a vivifying principle, influencing 
him in his intercourse with society, governing him in the 
performance of all his duties to his parish, and pervading in 
a perceptible manner every part of liis conduct. The Rev''. 
Mr. Chase is a sound and zealous Churchman, a correct theo- 
logian, well-read in Church History, minutely acquainted 
with the distinctive principles which characterize the Protes- 
tant Episcopal Church, which constitute its peculiar excel- 
lence, and form the great landmarks of rational, temperate, 
and stable Christianity. These " stedfast and immoveable 
in the faith once delivered to the saints," no considerations 
of temporizing expediency could ever induce him to surren- 
der, or to compromise : And he enforced them, both from 
the pulpit and in private, with ability and with zeal. A zeal so 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 24I 

fervent that his duty seemed ever to be his pleasure. But 
with the excellence of the most virtuous, it is the lot of man 
(and who shall claim exemption from the general imperfec- 
tion ?) there should be mingled some alloy. This zeal, the 
subscribers do not seek to withhold the confession, united as 
it must be, because springing from a warmth and ardour of 
feeling, may sometimes have been felt to so great a degree, 
as on some occasions probably to have transcended the limits 
of prudence. But this exuberance of zeal, if it be a fault, 
seemed to be almost his only one, and one which the lapse of 
a few more years, there is every reason to believe, would over- 
come. The subscribers are the more free to make this con- 
fession, as they believe this to be the only vulnerable part of 
the Rev*^. Mr. Chase's character, because they feel the con- 
viction that though it be their duty to do justice to their 
former pastor, it is their duty likewise to deal frankly and 
candidly in their communication to the Church, concerning 
him ; and that however great may be their attachment to 
the man, whom they have had every reason to love and re- 
spect, they are bound to feel that superior attachment to the 
Protestant Episcopal Church, which should be paramount to 
every other consideration. As one evidence of the efficancy 
of the Rev"^. Mr. Chase's labours in this place it may be 
stated that when he entered on his parochial duties here, he 
found the parish weak and containing scarcely thirty com- 
municants, and that when he quitted it, he left it augmented 
in numbers, and in attachment, and with the communicants 
increased to nearly one hundred and ten. In relation to the 
Rev"*. Mr. Chase's private character, the subscribers can 
speak with as much confidence as they have of his public 
ministrations. 

They have enjoyed more than common means of becom- 
ing acquainted with his domestic character, and from this 
among other circumstances, that during a period of nearly 
a twelve month previously to removing his family here, he 
became by turns an inmate of the families of nearly every 
person in the government of the temporal concerns of the 
parish, and who are now the subscribers.

242 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The Rev'*. Mr. Chase was in the highest degree exem- 
plary in all the relations of life. He possessed with great 
suavity of manner, the art of conciliating the affections in a 
remarkable manner, and more particularly the affections of 
young people, and the influences arising from this, was 
uniformly directed to their instruction and improvement 
in moral and religious virtue, and to securing their attach- 
ment more firmly to the Church. He was open, never seek- 
ing to disguise his opinions ; sincere, liberal, and charitable, 
regardless almost to a fault of pecuniary considerations ; ap- 
parently satisfied if he could obtain a competency not to 
aspire to more ; regardless of no personal inconvenience or 
sacrifices, in the performance of his duty ; undaunted and 
persevering when important principles were at stake, where 
he knew himself to be right, yet by no means strenuous of 
his own opinions in regard to measures of small consequence, 
particularly if concession would gratify his friends around 
him. 

On the whole, although the Parish of Christ Church in 
this city, when the Rev**. Mr. Chase quitted them, conceived 
they had sustained a severe loss, and one not easily to be re- 
paired, they became gradually reconciled to his removal, 
from a belief that, in his new sphere of action, his virtues 
and peculiar endowments would make him an instrument in 
the hands of God, of great and extensive usefulness to his 
Church. And under this belief, they cannot but entertain 
the opinion that an opposition to his consecration must pro- 
ceed froin the deficiency of knowledge, or from misappre- 
hension of his true character, which if it exist, they hope 
this representation will be instrumental in removing ; for 
they sincerely believe, that, if persevered in, such opposition 
would prove injurious to the best interest of the Church. 

The subscribers deem it proper to add, that the circum- 
stance of this representation being made, is wholly unknown 
to the Rev. Mr. Chase, nor has it been suggested by him, 
nor by any friend of his out of this state.

Dec. I. To the Wardens and Vestr}- of Christ Church, in 
the City of Hartford, Con. 

Gentlemen : — The undersigned, members of the Standing 
Committee of the Prot. Epis. Church in the Diocese of N. 
Jersey, very respectfully offer the following answer to your 
interesting communication in relation to the Rev. Philander 
Chase, Bishop Elect of the Diocese of Ohio. While the 
Standing Committee of N. Jersey most sincerely respect the 
motives which produced your communication, while they can- 
not but value a testimonial so full and affectionate towards 
your former Minister, and while they are ready to give full 
credit to a document supported by signatures so truly respect- 
able, they feel themselves in duty bound to state that their 
reasons for witholding their assent to the Consecration of Mr. 
Chase to the Episcopate, arose from a variety of injurious 
reports brought before them, under such circumstances as to 
render it a dereliction of dut}- not to notice them. These 
reports, the undersigned are informed, are now undergoing 
an investigation before the Standing Committee of Pennsyl- 
vania, at the request of Mr. Chase himself. The result of 
this investigation we sincerely hope may be such as to gratify 
the personal friends of Mr. Chase, and promote the interests 
and happiness of our venerable and Apostolic Church. 
With these sentiments 
Gentlemen 

We are 
Very respectfully Your

1819. 

April 12, P. Voted, That the thanks of this Parish be pre- 
sented to Mr. Michael Olcott, for his faithful services as a 
Warden of this Parish. 

Michael Olcott was one of the early and prominent 
members of the Parish. He was one of the associates in 
1796; he was Vestryman in 1799, and at numerous times 
afterwards, and was Junior Warden 18 13-19, always bear- 
ing his full share of its burdens. He died May 1 1 , 1 829. 
He was unmarried, as were also his two sisters, Mary and 
Abigail, the last of whom was well known to some of our 
older members. She died April 18, 1842. A neighbor of 
Mr. Olcott's told me that on every Sunday, at a quarter 
past 10 o'clock, and in the afternoon also, the three might 
be seen on their way to church, Mr. Olcott always a little 
in advance. 

" Farther north, where Warren Rowley now lives, was 
Michael Olcott, a retired merchant, who had formerly been 
engaged in the West India trade. He was tall, of good 
appearance, gentlemanly in his manner, and a sound 
churchman. He was one of the wardens of Christ church 
from 1813 to 181 8. He was also one of thirty-four per- 
sons who in 1796 'agreed to join and associate themselves 
into a religious society by the style and title of the 
Episcopal Society of the City of Hartford, tmder the 
direction and government of the Right Reverend Bishop 
of Episcopal Clergy.' The house in which he lived is 
now standing in good preservation, on the corner of Main 
and Belden Streets, about 200 feet back from the road. 
Formerly there were a number of large mulberry trees 
about it, which furnished abundant fruit for birds — and 
boys. He was at one time quartermaster-general of the 
State, and major-commandant of the Governor's Horse 
Guard. He had three sisters, one of whom married the 
Rev. Dr. Barry of New Jersey, the father of the late Dr. 
James W. Barry of this city ; the others lived with him. 
He died in May, 1829." — " Up N'eck in iS2^," pp. 76-77.

Col. Olcott was graduated at Yale College 1793, and was sub-

The Rector informed the Wardens and Vestry that he had 
rec** notice to attend a meeting of the Committee at New 
Haven, on Tuesday morning next, for the purpose of making 
the necessary arrangements for the introduction of the 
Bishop Elect into this Diocese. He stated that a communi- 
cation had been received by the Committee from Bp. Hobart, 
intimating the assent of the Bp. elect to his appointment, who 
would take upon him the charge of the Diocese, when a living 
of $1500 D' should be provided. The Rector stated some of 
the advantages that would result to this Parish, in having 
their Bp. located here, and chat so desirable an event might 
be secured, he proposed that the Wardens and Vestry should 
consider and determine what they could do in a pecuniary 
way to effect it. He stated that the Bishop's fund, as it now 
stood, would not yield over 1 100 or 1 200 D' per annum, and he 
proposed with the approbation of the Vestry, relinquishing in 
favor of the Bp. 400 D' of his salary, and proposed to remun- 
erate himself, by his services in the Academy which he con- 
templated establishing, or from occasional services, in the 
neighbouring parishes. He expected that in case both these 
objects failed, that the Vestry would pledge themselves to 
make good the deficiency. 

The Vestry present felt the importance of using every 
exertion to effect the object proposed, and in order to provide

what might be a last resort (although they were fully im- 
pressed with the expectation, that the delinquent Parishes 
would pay or secure to the Bps. Fund, their deficiencies, from 
private donations, which are making and would be made, and 
from claims on the Government of U. States,) it was agreed 
that one of the following ways, would be the most feasible. 
That individuals of the Parish would pledge their notes to its 
fund, to enable it to produce five hundred dolP per annum 
the payment of which Notes, should not be called upon, so 
long as the interest was paid. — (Mr. C. Sigourney and vS. 
Tudor offered to give their note each for two hundred doll- 
ars); or by private subscription if this method should be 
resorted to. Mr. Tudor would pay 100 Dolls per annum, if 
any one would pay an equal am*, or he would agree to pay 
50 Dolls per year. — The Rector then proposed the following 
vote, and submitted it to individual opinion. You who will 
authorize your Rector to offer the Bishop elect, thro' the 
Committee, a sum equal to the deficiency of the Bps. fund to 
pay 1500 Dolls for 4 years which sum shall not exceed 400 
Dolls per annum, on condition of his residing in this place, 
will declare it, to which all present gave their affirmation, 
except the following. Mr. Griswold, No, without reasons, 
Mr. Hoadley doubted the authority of the Vestry to bind the 
Parish, and did not feel able to pledge his private means; 
Dr. Bliss refused to vote — wanted to reflect further upon the 
subject, — doubted the expediency of urging the Bp' location 
here, — he might or might not be a man who would promote 
the interests of the Church &c., &c.

The parish was much gratified by having Mr, Wain- 
wright as their Rector; he was an educated gentleman, 
polite and affable to all. He was a good Churchman, of 
the Connectictit style, earnest in the performance of his 
duties, and interested in all that concerned the parish. 
There is no question but that both parties were mutually 
well satisfied. But the coming of a new Bishop was im- 
portant and the provision made for him was hardly suffi- 
cient for his support. When Mr. Wainwright resigned 
his rectorship here, to accept of a position in Trinity 
church. New York, it was natural enough that Bishop 
Brownell should be chosen as Rector of Christ Church, 
with an assistant to attend to most of the parochial duties. 
This worked well enough under the arrangements which

were made, until it was found that the needs of the diocese 
demanded his exclusive attention and his resignation as 
Rector, after holding this position for nearly a year.

the Vote of the Wardens and Vestry of the Parish, appointing 
the Committee of which you are Chairman, to confer with me

the Rectorship, under the conditions proposed by the Com- 
mittee in our conference of yesterday. To wit : That a suita- 
ble assistant Rector shall be forthwith appointed ; and that 
I shall myself perform the public services, and preach one- 
fourth part of the time in Hartford, and one other fourth 
part in an out parish, to be connected with this, and that for 
these services I shall receive the sum of five hundred dollars 
per annum, from the Parish at Hartford. With respect to 
the other ministerial duties of the Parish, I am sensible of 
their great importance, and shall devote myself to them as 
much as my other avocations will permit, but the greater

BOND FOR PAYMENT OF SERVICES AT EAST WINDSOR. 

Jan. J. Whereas, the Parish of Christ Church in Hart- 
ford, have proposed to the Parish of St. John's Church at 
Warehouse Point, in East Windsor, to supply the s"* Church 
with public services and preaching one-half of the time, To 
wit : with the services of Bishop Brownell, Rector of Christ 
Church, Hartford, one-quarter of the time, and with the ser- 
vices of the assistant Rector one-quarter of the time — Now 
therefore, we the subscribers do guarantee the payment of 
the sum of Four hundred dollars (in quarterly instalments), 
to the Treasurer of the said parish of Hartford, within one 
year from the commencement of the s'' services, and as a 
compensation therefor. Done at East Windsor, this 3*^ day of 

Jan^, 1820. 

Charles Jencks, 

Epaphras L. Phelps, 

Horace Barber, 

Jonathan Pasco. 

Jany j, P. Voted, That this Parish agree to the accept- 
ance of the Right Rev"^. Bishop Brownell of the Rectorship 
of this Parish, on the conditions expressed in the Bishop's 
letter of the 18 ' Dec^ 1819, to the Committee appointed to 
communicate with him. 

Voted, That the Parish agree to pay the Bishop for his 
services, in conformity to his letter, the sum of Five hundred 
dollars, in quarterly payments, to commence from the iS"* 
day of Dec', past. 

Voted, Unanimously that the Rev''. N. S. Wheaton be in- 
vited to accept the situation of assistant Rector of this 
Parish. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 2$ I 

Voted, That this Parish agree to pay the Rev*^. N. S. 
Wheaton for his services, the sum of Nine hundred dollars 
for the year ensuing — it being understood that the whole 
of his services are to be rendered in this Parish, and that of 
St. John's, in East Windsor. 

Voted, That the Right Rev''. Bishop Brownell be requested 
to communicate the above Votes to Rev'd N. S. Wheaton, 
and to explain to him the situation of the two Parishes — 
with such other general information as he may deem proper 
for his government. 

Feby g. At a Vestry meeting held at the house of Mr. 
Bartholomew, on the evening of the 9"" of Feb'y 1820, it was 
Voted, That the Wardens & Vestry highly approve of the 
laudable efforts of the " Hartford Episcopal Musical Society" 
for the improvement of the Musick of Christ Church, and 
will use their individual efforts to promote the objects of the 
Society so far as the same shall be conformable to the order 
of the Church. With respect to the selection of the tunes 
and to the control of the Orchestra, the Vestry beg leave to 
refer the Society to the Rector of the Parish, in whom these 
subjects are confided by the Rubrics and Canons of the 
Church. 

April 4, P. Voted, Unanimously, that the thanks of this 
Parish be presented to John Morgan, Esq"", for his long and 
faithful services as Warden of this Parish. 

Mr. Morgan had previous to this time become seriously 
embarrassed in his financial affairs, and so was not able to 
contribute as liberally as in former years. This tribute 
to his former usefulness was well earned and deservedly 
bestowed. That the Parish did not forget their faithful 
friend is also shown by the following vote of the Vestry, 
March 24, 1826: 

Voted, That S. Tudor and C. Sigourney, call on John Mor- 
gan, Esq. request him to designate where he would prefer to 
be seated in the Church, and that two seats be reserved for 
him and Mrs. Morgan, where he may select. 



252 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Nov. S, V. Voted, That the Rev'' Mr. Wheaton, and A. 
Hayden be a Committee to revise the rules and regulations 
of the Library, and cause such part of the same to be printed 
and pasted into each Vol. as they may think fit. 

Voted^ That Mr. C. Sigourney be requested to purchase 
for the use of the Church, i P' Candlesticks, for the Pulpit, 
one Basket for the Communion Service, Lamps for new pews, 
and sperm Candles. 

Voted, That the Treasurer be directed to pay Mr. Spencer's 
bill for sundry expenses incur'd by the Singers. 

Voted, That the thanks of the Wardens and Vestry be 
presented to Mr. James M. Goodwin, for his indefatigable 
exertions in directing the Sunday School, 

Nov. II, Though Bishop Brownell resigned as Rector 
of the Parish, Nov. ii, 1820, yet I do not find a copy of 
the resignation on the records ; it was, however, discovered 
among some old files of documents. 

To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen : — You are well acquainted with the circum- 
stances which have rendered necessary my removal from 
Hartford. The establishment of the general Theological 
Seminary in this Diocese, has called upon me, by the duty 
which I owe to the Church at large, to be near it during its 
infant state, that I may be better able to render it such sup- 
port and assistance as may not be incompatible with my par- 
amount duties to the Diocese. 

Under these circumstances it becomes proper that I 
should resign the Rectorship of Christ Church to which I 
have been elected, that its duties may be more perfectly dis- 
charged by the present assistant. As however the arrange- 
ment made with the Parish of East Windsor does not expire 
till February next, I will continue my services to both con- 
gregations as heretofore, (either personally, or by a substitute,) 
until that time, unless some other more satisfactory arrange- 
ment should be made. 

In thus tendering you my resignation. Gentlemen, I cannot 
forbear to acknowledge, (though I am unable adequately to 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 253 

express it) the deep and gratefiil sense which I entertain of 
the friendship and kindness which I have experienced from 
you individually, as well as from the Congregation at large. 
I can only return for your liberality, my heartfelt gratitude, 
and my most sincere prayers for your welfare. 

With my earnest prayers for the temporal and spiritual 
prosperity and welfare of the Congregation, I remain. Gen- 
tlemen, 

Your obliged Friend and Servant, 

T. C. Brownell.

PARISH LIBRARY. 

The usefulness of a Parish Library was regarded as 
quite important, and the Vestry had voted Feb. 2, 1818, 
" that James M. Goodwin and Anson Hayden be a com- 
mittee to solicit donations in Books, etc., for the purpose 
of increasing the Library belonging to the Church," and 
the following Rules and Regulations were passed Dec. 4, 
1820. 

Dec''. 4, Rules and Regulations for the Library of Christ 
Church, Hartford. 

Article i. The Library shall be open every Sunday both 
before morning and after evening service, and the Librarian 
shall not be required to deliver books at any other time. 

2. No book shall be kept out longer than 4 weeks on 
penalty of a fine of one cent per day, for each Vol. till such 
book is returned. 

3. No family or individual shall be entitled to receive 
more than two books at a time. 

4. If a book be lost, the person who drew it from the 
Library, shall make it good, by paying'its value, or providing 
another, and if it was a volume belonging to a set, he shall 
take the whole set, and replace it with a new copy of the 
same work. 

5. If a book be damaged, the person to whom it is charged 
shall pay such a fine as the Rector and Librarian shall im- 
pose or replace it with a new one at his own discretion. 



254 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

6. No person against whom a fine or fines, are charged, 
shall be entitled to receive books, till such fine has been paid. 

7. No person shall take a volume from the Library with- 
out having it charged in the Librarian's book, on a penalty of 
fifty cents. 

8. vSo much of the above regulations as relates to the 
number of Vo? taken out at once, and the time of their de- 
tention, shall not apply to the Rector of the Parish, but with 
all the other provisions he shall comply. 

9. All monies, collected from fines, shall be expended 
under the direction of the Wardens and Vestry in purchasing 
books for the Library. 

Feb. 2, V. Voted, That James M. Goodwin, and Anson 
Hayden be a committee to solicit donations in Books, &c. for 
the purpose of increasing the Library belonging to the 
Church. 

I have no hesitation in copying from the records the 
result of Messrs. Goodwin and Hayden's efforts in secur- 
ing books to increase the library. The list is not only in- 
teresting but suggestive, and might be considered at this 
day as rather dry and unprofitable. Our younger people, 
and perhaps the older ones also, would now permit them 
to remain upon their shelves unread, or not even ex- 
amined, since the magazines or the Sunday newspapers 
supply them with more palatable food. The fact that 
they were formerly read confirms the opinion expressed 
in the Report, that our fathers were better acquainted with 
church history, and more grounded in the faith, than are 
a majority of our people now.

1822. 

Feb. 25, V. Voted, That the present pews and slips in 
Church be so altered as to make as much room as possible, 
by removing the inner partition &c. 

Rev. N. S. Wheaton, M. Olcott, and S. Tudor, jr., were ap- 
pointed a committee to carry the above vote into effect, and 
to make the necessary contracts. 

This change was rendered necessary by the increasing 
number of attendants, and a contract for the work was 
made with William Hayden, March 12th. It was to be 
completed by the first of April following, and he received 
for it two hundred and seventy-three dollars. The plan 
of the pews and .slips in 1805 and in 1822, which is sub- 
mitted, will show the changes which were made. 

April I. V. A letter from the young gentlemen of the Parish, 
thro' Charles Munn their agent, enclosing One hundred dol- 
lars subscribed by them for the purchase of Lamps, was laid 
before the meeting. 

Thereupon, it was Voted, That the thanks of the Wardens 
and Vestry be presented to the young gentlemen of this Par- 
ish, for their liberal and handsome donation of one hundred 
dollars, to purchase Lamps. 

Voted, That the names of the young gentlemen, who con- 
tributed to raise the above sum, be recorded in the book of 
parish records. 

Voted, That there be paid to the vSexton of the Parish forty 
dollars per annum, for the performance of the following 
duties, 7nz.: ringing the Church bell whenever there is ser- 
vice — Sweeping the Church out and dusting it once a week,

May 18. At a meeting of the members of this Parish, 
convened in pursuance to previous legal notice this day at 4 
17 



258 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

o'clock P. M. the Rev''. N. vS. Wheaton being moderator in 
conformity to the Canon, 

The Constitution of the Episcopal ChurcJi in this Diocese as 
adopted in Convention Jime 7, 1821, was presented to the 
Parish for their consideration, and unanimously adopted. 

1823. 

There was established by the Convention of the Dio- 
cese in 1 818, "The Connecticut Protestant Episcopal 
Society for the Promotion of Christian Knowledge." 
The objects were, " the employment of missionaries in the 
vacant parishes of the diocese, the gratuitous distribution 
of the Bible, the book of Common Prayer, and religious 
tracts." The Parish accepted it and appointed a com- 
mittee consisting of Messrs. Charles Sigourney, Samuel 
Tudor, and William McCrackan as their trustees, and 
secured quite a list of members. 

In 1823 an Auxiliary Society of ladies was formed, 
which existed for some years, and it seems to be of suffi- 
cient interest to copy the constitution, together with a list 
of the members for five years, this being the only record 
which can be found. Mrs. Humphrey and Mrs. Potter 
were wives of professors in the college. 

Constitution of the Ladies Society Auxiliary to the Society for the 
Promotion of Christian Knowledge in the Diocese of Con- 
necticut. 

Art. I. This Society shall be known by the name of the 
Female Auxiliary Society for the Promotion of Chris- 
tian Knowledge. 

Art. 2. The annual payment of fifty cents and upwards 
shall constitute a person a member, while she continues her 
subscription. No person shall withdraw from the Society 
without leaving a written notice of her intention, with the 
Secretary, and paying up all arrearages. 

Art. 3. There shall be an annual meeting of the Society 
at 4 o'clock P. M. on Easter Monday, at which time a Presi- 
dent, Secretary, and Treasurer shall be chosen by ballot, and a 
Collector by nomination, each of whom shall hold her office 
during the year. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 259 

Art, 4. It shall be the duty of the President to preside 
at all the meetings. The Secretary shall keep a true record 
of the proceedings of the Society with a list of the names of 
all the members belonging to it. The Treasurer shall keep 
a faithful record of the receipts and expenses of the Society, 
a statement of which shall be exhibited at each annual meet- 
ing ; she shall also previous to the annual Convention, trans- 
mit to the Treasurer of the parent Society all the monies 
collected and paid over to her (after deducting incidental ex- 
penses whenever they occur), which monies shall be appro- 
priated to the objects named in the Constitution of the parent 
Society. It shall be the duty of the Collector annually to 
collect the subscriptions, and pay them over to the Treasurer, 
previous to the annual meeting ; it shall also be her duty to 
solicit new subscriptions as soon after the annual meeting as 
may be convenient. 

Art. 5. The President shall call a special meeting of 
the Society whenever she shall be requested thereto by any 
three of its members. 

Art. 6. This Constitution shall be imalterable, except 
by a vote of two thirds of the members present, at the regu- 
lar annual meeting. 

The Society was organized the 23d of April, 18 18: it 
was thoug-ht best by their Pastor, the Rev'' Mr. Wheaton, 
to have a Constitution, which was written by him, and the 
above is a true copy. The members of said Society met 
the first Monday of July, A. D. 1823, agredd to sign the 
Constitution, and made choice of Mrs. Eli Todd, President, 
Mrs. Jeremy Hoadley, Treasurer, Mrs. Anthony Jeffrey, 
Secretary and Collector.

to erect a Church thereon, together with the probable ex- 
pense of the Lot and building. 

Wm. H. Imlay, George Beach, and Nathan Morgan were 
appointed as this committee, and reported Oct. loth, 
which gave rise, the clerk says, "to considerable debate," 



262 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

and was laid upon the table, for consideration at an ad- 
journed meeting- Oct. 24tli, when two-thirds of the mem- 
bers present not voting for it, " it was negatived." 

Although the seating capacity of the church had been 
increased by the alterations made in 1822, yet more room 
was needed. The prosperity which was attending other 
religious bodies had extended to the EpivScopalians ; the 
old building was not sufficient for their wants. Churchmen 
were increasing in numbers and in wealth, and were 
already considering an application for a college : they 
were now, more than ever before, becoming conscious not 
of their strength merely, but of their needs and obligations. 
The charter of Washington College having been obtained, 
it became a stimulus for further work in Hartford in the 
erection of a new church. So one duty fulfilled leads to 
the accomplishment of another, and work which was 
thought to be impossible before, becomes easy of execution 
afterwards. Men find that the development of a new 
enterprise leads to another, often different and unex- 
pected. 

So in 1825 there began agitation for a new church. The 
story has been told by Mr. Hoadly in the Annals, and 
partially also in the Report of the Conniiittec on the Fnnds. 
It is therefore only necessary to state here, that, after 
much discussion and considerable excitement, a lot was 
purchased, and a church built, which was consecrated in 
December, 1 829. It seems as if it was almost necessary that 
the erection of a building for public religious worship, or 
the location of a schoolhouse, should be attended with 
such diverse opinions, as to become not a wrangle merely, 
but a bitter quarrel. 

There is no reason to suppose that the latter occurred 
in the case of our Parish. But there were differences of 
opinion as to the selection of a lot. A number of locations 
had been proposed, and one was purchased, the one of all 
least suited for the purpose, as now appears to us. The 
Spencer and Oilman lot was the one, upon which the old 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS, 263 

City Hall now stands in Market street. It was very soon 
evident that this location was not satisfactory, and by a 
vote of the Parish it was ordered to be sold. About this 
time there was an agitation for a public hall, and for a 
public market. With an unsatisfactory piece of property 
on hand, the Episcopalians were ready to sell to the city 
their recent purchase, and more of them attended the city 
meeting probably than ever before, very ready to be- 
lieve that the Spencer and Oilman lot was just the place 
for the city's use. At any rate, the city bought it, 
and erected upon it the large building which is now stand- 
ing. The part which we took in this transfer is a matter 
of unwritten history, as far as I know, but there are often 
parts of unwritten history as true as that which is written. 
The building served its purpose well for a long time, and 
if all which occurred in it afterwards should ever be 
recorded by a faithful chronicler, it would be called " very 
interesting reading." The significance of the word " un- 
loading" is comparatively of recent origin, and should 
not be too severely applied to the members of our Parish. 

ABOUT AN OLD WELL. 

April 4. V. Voted, That Isaac Toucey, Griffin Sted- 
man, and Nathan Morgan, be a committee to confer with the 
committee appointed by the Common Council of this city, 
relating to the well on the corner of the churc^i lot. 

There was a controversy between the city and the 
Parish as to the rightful owner of this well. In May, 
1823, the Court of Common Council " Voted, That Mess. 
Joseph Pratt, and Jacob Sergeant, be a committee to ascer- 
tain whether the ground through which the well by the 
Episcopal Church is sunk, is parish ground, or otherwise, 
as the case is, and make report to some future meeting of 
this Court." 1825, March 7, this committee reported, 

" That there is no record of the Episcopal Society on the 
subject. That there is a report of a committee of the Com- 



264 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

mon Council in 1796, a copy of which is hereto subjoined, 
marked A, but the members of which committee are either 
dead, or unable to communicate any facts respecting the 
right to the soil. 

" Your committee, from an examination of the subject, are 
of the opinion, that the land where the well now stands was 
originally a highway, and the right and title to the same, if not 
vested in the city, must be claimed by possession ; when, or 
how long since the property was enclosed, your committee 
cannot ascertain. In construction of the Report of the com- 
mittee of 1796, your committee infer that permission was 
granted by the Episcopal Church, to affix spouts and conduct- 
ors from said Church to the well, but whether any permission 
was obtained or asked, relative to the Soil, does not appear; 
and indeed nothing more appears than from said Report itself, 
respecting said permission. 

" Your committee therefore are of opinion, that no facts 
have yet been discovered to justify the committee in recom- 
mending to the Court of Common Council to relinquish a 
right so long and uninteruptedly enjoyed by the citizens to 
said well." 

The further consideration of the Report was post- 
poned, but was resumed March 24tli, when it was " referred 
back to the committee for further investigation, and his 
Honor the Mayor, and Enoch Perkins, Esq., were added to 
the aforesaid committee." 

The Parish doubtless became impatient at the delay in 
the settlement of the question, for it had been commenced 
in 1823 ; so it was 

March 24, 1826. V. Voted, That it be recommended to the 
Parish to cause the whole land in front of the church, be- 
longing to the parish, to be inclosed within the limits of the 
Church fence. The Parish Voted, March 27, That George 
Beach, Samuel Tudor, and Nathan Morgan, be a committee 
to enclose the yard in front of the Church, including the well 
and other land belonging to the Church. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 265 

The Council returned to the subject again April 4, 
1826, when "the Memorial of the Engineer relating to 
the well near the Episcopal Church was read, and referred 
to the committee appointed on that subject," and this is 
the last that we hear about it, on either side. Joseph 
Pratt was quite familiar with public matters in the town, 
and was not deficient in pertinacity : it may be said with 
confidence that this last qualification was not lost in Isaac 
Toucey. 

No one living appears to know anything about this 
little contest, which hardly warrants the time spent in in- 
vestigating it. We may judge that the fence was erected 
and the well enclosed by it. A few years afterwards the 
fence was still in place, but as to the well I have no 
recollection. 

After the present Church was built, the lot on which 
the old Church stood was sold to Oliver D. Cooke for six 
thousand dollars, and he erected upon it the present brick 
block, which contained two tenements, as dwellings. 
The south one was occupied by his son-in-law, Dr. Richard 
S. Kissam, a very respectable physician, who after a few 
years of residence moved to New York. A flight of stone 
steps led into a hall, and his office was in the basement ; 
the floor has since been lowered nearly to a level with the 
street, and the parlors have been changed into a store. 
If one looks closely at the front of the building he will see 
that the southeast corner is a few feet back of the street 
line, and undoubtedly back of the fence which formerly 
enclosed the Church in front. I never knew why this 
was done, but a reasonable supposition is, that this secured 
rooms in the house which would be square. Mr. Hoadly 
says that " the lots on Main street were not originally 
laid out at right angles with the street," so that if Mr. 
Cooke had erected his house upon the building line, his 
rooms would have had a diagonal frontage, which a 
gentleman of his good taste would not readily put up 
with. The well very likely was located on this vacated

space and filled up ; and if any one had the curiosity, and 
could bear the expense, and could secure the permission 
of the owner, he would probably find, some feet under the 
ground, the stones of this old well, which in 1796 was 
directed to be " sunk to the rock, six feet in diameter, 
after being stoned," as is stated in the report of the com- 
mittee of the Common Council, which follows this 
account ; the whole being a peg on which to hang a small 
incident in the history of the Parish. 

To the Mayor, Aldermen and Common Council of the City 
of Hartford: 

We, your Honors Committee, appointed to examine the 
Public Cistern near Mr. John Morgan's house, and report the 
probable expense of repairing the same, with our opinion of 
the expediency of making a well for the use of the City, in 
case of fire, beg leave to report, that sd Cistern cannot be re- 
paired, and made fit for use, exclusive of spouts and conductors, 
for less than Thirty Dollars, that the expense of getting 
water into it, from Capt. Joseph Talcott's house, (from 
whence only it can be procured), will amount to Forty 
Dollars, after which by reason of the ascent from s^ Talcott's 
to s"^ Cistern, the same cannot be much more than half filled 
therefrom. Mr. Morgan will give the City Forty Dollars for 
a release of the ground, there leased by him, which proposi- 
tion we think ought to be accepted, and a well sunk to the 
rock, six feet in diameter, after being stoned, near the 
Church, with Spouts and Conductors thereto from the 
Church, (permission being given therefor), and that a pump, 
with an iron brake, and a strong case, ought to be provided 
therefor, and kept under lock, all of which is submitted by 
your honor's hum', servts.

FeW 2j, V. Voted, That James M. Goodwin, and vS. H. 
Huntington, be a Committee to obtain the Masonic Hall or 
some other room for the purpose of a lecture room.

The following note, from Rev. Dr. Hart, is in expla- 
nation of the " proposed alteration." 

"Trinity College, Sept., 1894. 
"In 1826, Bishop Hobart introduced in the House of 
Bishops a provision for rubrics to allow the shortening of 
services by the abbreviation of the appointed Psalm and Les- 
sons, etc. The proposal passed both Houses of the Conven- 
tion ; but in the ensuing three years it was found to be 
so generally disapproved by the Church at large, that it did not 
come to a vote in the Convention of 1829, but was quietly 
dropped. It must have been this proposal that the delegates 
from Christ Church were instructed to oppose. 

Very truly yours, 

SAMUEL HART." 

P. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be, and are here- 
by authorized to sell the old Church, land and fixtures, at

PAINTING IN CHANCEL WINDOW. 

In 1829, Dec. 1 6th, the Rev. N. vS. Wheaton, Rector of 
the Parish, presented to the same, a transparent painting 
of the Ascension, after Raphael, by W. Bacon of London, 
to be placed in the chancel window. There it remained 
for many years, the admiration of the parishioners, and 
the astonishment of many, who had not been accustomed 
to the sight of pictures in churches. Unfortunately, it was 
damaged by the falling of a ladder some years afterwards, 
at a time when the church was being decorated for Christ- 
mas. It was replaced by a window of stained glass in 
1854, which was never very much commended, and was 
removed, and stored in the tower of the church, when the 
present beautiful window, a memorial of Dr. Wheaton, 
was put in its place in 1879. 

The painting was afterwards sent to Dr. Wheaton, 
who was at the time residing in Marbledale, but it never

reached him. It was learned that in being transported to 
Marbledale by railroad an accident occurred, and it was 
completely destroyed.

appropriate ornament to our new building,

to accept their thanks for his appropriate and liberal dona- 
tion, and also be assured of their affectionate gratitude for 
his devotion to their interests and prosperity, manifested by 
his zeal and munificence in their service. 

The cost of the painting, it is understood, was five 
hundred dollars. The Wardens and Vestry, April 10, 
1830, " Voted, that the Treasurer be, and hereby is author- 
ized to pay Mr. Wheaton the amount advanced by him 
for freight and duties on the Transparency." This was

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 277 

It is well to incorporate in this history of the parish 
the address of the Rector on this occasion. 

ADDRESS. 

My Christian Brethren : — 

If the Stone on which I now stand has been laid in the 
faith of Jesus Christ, and in the religious hope that our 
present undertaking may conduce to the advancement of the 
Redeemer's kingdom, it is an event on which we have rea- 
son to congratulate ourselves. While it forms a new and 
interesting era in the annals of our parish, it furnishes an 
evidence how, from small beginnings, our society has grown 
up to a fulness of stature sufficient to authorize the present 
attempt ; and now that we are beginning to see our long- 
cherished hopes realized, in the commencement of a more 
spacious house of worship, the occasion calls for an expres- 
sion of devout thanksgiving to the great Head of the church, 
under whose spirit we have been thus far guided and 
prospered. 

Thirty-five years have elapsed, since the frame of the 
building in which we have just worshipped, was erected ; 
and thirty-three since it was opened as a sanctuary for 
prayer. The recollection of the many pleasant, and we 
would hope, profitable hours, which have been spent within 
its walls ; and the hallowed associations connected with it, 
tend to mingle some pensive emotions with the joy, which 
the ceremonies of this day are calculated to inspire. Yet, 
while memory loves to linger around the .place, where we 
have so long prayed and sung praises to God ; it is, on the 
whole, with highly grateful feelings, that we are called upon 
to take a part in the exercises of this morning. 

The motives which prompt us to this undertaking, my 
christian friends and brethren, are such, we trust, as we are 
neither afraid nor ashamed to avow. It would be no wish of 
ours, were the thing possible, to build on the ruins of other 
denominations, who hold the essentials of the Christian 
faith. "We would overturn no man's altar — we would 
spoil no man's prayer." We only desire to exercise that 



2/8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

liberty wherewith Christ has made us free ; and which our 
political institutions have assured to us, in common with all 
classes of citizens. We censure none for the preferences 
they may honestly entertain : — we too have ours ; and it is a 
pleasing thought, that the truly good of all denominations 
may hold the faith in the bond of peace, while they bow 
down before different altars. 

We build this temple in opposition to the rulers of the 
darkness of this world. With the spirit that worketh in the 
children of disobedience, we wish to be on no terms of amity. 
Let there be perpetual war between us, whether our enemy 
comes in the hypocritical guise of a child of light, or in his 
own proper attire. If this undertaking should result in win- 
ning over any subjects of Satan's kingdom to the truth as it 
is in Jesus, our labour will not have been in vain in the 
Lord. 

This temple we erect to the glory of God, the Father, the 
Son, and the Holy Ghost — the holy, blessed, and glorious 
Trinity. We have no ambition to become the disciples of 
that improved theology, which strips our adorable Redeemer 
of all the attributes of a divine Being, and sends us to our 
own good works for the means of propitiating the Deity. 
This is no temple of Unitarianism ; and God grant it may 
never become such. Palsied be the tongue, which, in the 
pulpit of this house, shall ever deny that the Word was God 
— that "Word which was made flesh, and dwelt amongst us." 
Hitherto, our scriptural forms of worship, with the divine 
blessing, have kept us singularly free from the errors 
which have elsewhere overthrown the faith once delivered to 
the saints ; and we cannot help thinking, that every success- 
ful undertaking of this kind will be hailed with pleasure, by 
the good of every christian name. It is an additional defence 
erected against the spread of that fashionable infidelity, 
which assumes the garb of religion, only to make war on 
every thing in it worth preserving. 

We build this temple, to gather souls into the fold of 
Christ, through the ministry and ordinances of the gospel. 
Here, we trust, the lively oracles will be faithfully explained

— the way of salvation pointed out — sinners admonished — 
hearts renewed — the feeble strengthened, and mourners 
comforted. With this spot will our religion be hereafter in- 
separably connected. Here will arise the incense of our 
prayers; here will those truths be proclaimed, by hearing 
which we shall inevitably be made better or worse; here, we 
shall either be sealed unto the day of redemption, or become 
irreclaimably hardened in the ways of sin. With such inter- 
esting realities as these before us, which time only can 
develope, can you behold the ceremonies in which you are 
eno'ao'ed, without some anxious presentiments what will be 
the issue of the ministry of reconciliation, in your individual 
case? Will it be a savour of life unto life; or a savour of 
death unto death? 

It is in no human confidence that we have put forth our 
hand to this work. We know that, "except the Lord build 
the house, their labour is but lost that build it." " We lift up 
our eyes unto the hills from whence cometh our help," for 
the divine blessing on the enterprise in which we are em- 
barked; and with humble trust, commit our cause to the 
great keeper of Israel. 

We build this house in Faith. We have the divine assur- 
ance, that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the 
church; and it is therefore with no feelings of distrust that 
we strengthen our hands for the work. 

We build this house in Hope. We are animated by the 
expectation that many sons and daughters will here be born 
to God — that many sinners will be reclaimed, and fitted for 
eternal glory. For ourselves, we anticipate, if such is God's 
pleasure, the enjoyment of many days of holy communion 
with Him in this house; and when our voices have ceased to 
roll along its walls, and our heads are laid low in the dust, it 
is our confidence that a generation will not be wanting to 
perpetuate our hymns to Christ the King of Glory. 

We build this house in Charity. While we conscientiously 
differ from some of our Christian brethren, and on points not 
unimportant; we desire to be united with all who love the 
Lord Jesus in sincerity, in the bonds of Christian love. 
Most devoutly do we pray also, that the harmony of feeling

which pervades the parish in relation to our undertaking, 
may continue and increase. It will be the surest pledge of 
our prosperity, that our Jerusalem is built as a city that is at 
unity in itself. O pray then for her peace, — that it may be 
found within her walls, and knit all hearts together in the 
bonds of a close and holy fellowship. 

I alluded to an early period in the history of the parish; 
and the allusion brings to mind the mutability which is 
stamped on every thing here below. Short as the time is, 
since those foundations were laid; how small a number of the 
fathers of the parish are now alive, to rejoice in the fruits of 
their christian zeal, which we are permitted to witness this 
day! One generation goeth, and another cometh — the 
parish has changed — the city has changed — wealth and en- 
terprise have caused this place to assume a new appearance; 
and in all our streets, we hear the hum of a busy and thriving 
population. 

But time rolls on, and changes still more important are 
destined to follow. By and by when we, and the generations 
after tis, shall have gone down to our graves, even these solid 
walls shall decay under the weight of years; and buttress, 
and turret, and arch, and tower, shall be shaken by the slow 
grasp of time into a shapeless pile of ruins. And when the 
world itself shall have attained its appointed age, and be in- 
volved in the general wreck of matter, with what desires 
shall we look forward to an entrance into that city, of which 
the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple; in 
whose light the nations of them which are saved shall walk, 
and shall bring their glory and honour unto it ! 

The following, containing matters of interest about the 
consecration of the Church, are published by the favor of 
Mrs. Henry K. Morgan, of this city. 

Extract of a letter from COL. DANIEL PuTNAM of Brooklyn, 
Conn., to Mr. George Brinley of Boston, Mass., 
Dated Hartford, Dec. 20th, 182^. 

I have been all day in Church — Mr. Wheaton this after- 
noon preached his farewell Sermon in the Old Chh. His

text from 127"' Psalm — " Except the LORD build the house, they 
labour in vain that build — Except the LORD keep the City the 
Wafch?nan Watchcth in Vaifi." He gave us a very good 
Sermon. — 

A second letter, date Sunday Eve, Dec. 27th, tells of 
the consecration of the present Church, Christ Church, 
Hartford, on the 23d. 

Dear friends: — Your letter dated Wednesday last I did 
not receive till last evening, and have been all day in Church 
so that I shall hardly have time to write a letter and get it to 
the office in season to go to-morrow, as it rains in torrents 
and the streets are almost impassable from mud. 

We had a noble Consecration Wednesday, as fine a one as 
could be wished for, the weather was fine and every nook in 
the Chh was filled to overflowing. 

Bp. Hobart, who does all his Episcopal duties well, never 
performed a service more admirably. It had been arranged 
by the Congregation, with Mr. Wheaton at the head, that the 
Church should be opened only for the admission of Ladies in 
the Galleries, the lower floor to be reserved for the Vestry 
and Congregation, who were to meet in the old Church and 
form a procession to the new one, following the Bp. into it. 
But the Bishop had the good sense to alter this arrangement. 
— "What ! " said he, "am I to enter the new Chh. and com- 
mence the service to naked walls ? — No, — let every one that 
can get in be quietly seated, that the services may not be in- 
terrupted by any disturbance or commotion.*" The Chancel 
and three or four of the upper pews were reserved for the 
Clergy and the Wardens and Vestry. The Bishop entered 
the broad aisle at their head, solemnly repeating the first 
verse of the 24"* Psalm — then halting for the Clergy to make 
the response, and so on at every verse till they reached the 
Chancel. I never witnessed a service more impressive from 
beginning to end. Christmas Day Mr. Wheaton officiated 
with great excitement and interested the Congregation very 
highly. The day after the Consecration the pews were sold 
in a manner that gave great encouragement. They were 



282 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 



sold only till Easter, and in less than two hours brought an 
aggregate of about 3,700 dollars per annum. Mr. Goodwin 
(the Warden) says the old Church pews were never so nearly 
all sold at the first sale — some have been reserved, enough 
it is thought, to make up about $4000. A great many of the 
purchasers were new come) s, Gen' Terry among the num- 
ber. Christmas Day, the Chh was as crowded as at the Con- 
secration, and I expected to see a great falling off to-day ; 
but nearly every pew was filled and what was better all 
supplied with Prayer books. From present appearances I 
should think the Chh will be filled to crowding in a year or 
two. In many cases, four or five young men associate and 
purchase a pew, so that they are filling up with a young Con- 
gregation. Wheaton and Tudor and Ward and Huntington, 
in short everybody is in high spirits, and look forward to the 
extinguishment of their debt in a few years. The Pulpit and 
reading desk are in the Chancel, and Pluntington might well 
commend them to your notice, for they are just what they 
should be — at least they just suit my taste, tho' I should like 
this, and your Church better, if there were but one stair-case 
to the Pulpit. Bishop Hobart says it looks as if you ex- 
pected an officer with a legal process for your clergyman, 
since you have provided means for his escape. — believe me 
yrs aff. —

1830. 

Feb. ig. The land on which the old church stood 
was sold to Oliver D. Cooke Feb. 19, 1830, for $5,000, and 
he erected the present building upon it. 

April 4, 1 83 1, the church was sold to Deodat Taylor, 
together with the organ and furniture, for $900. Mr. Tay- 
lor was a joiner by occupation, an American, and as far as 
I can ascertain, the first convert to the Roman Catholic 
Church in this city. Though young, I well remember the 
surprise, and the comment which was made at the time. 
He was commonly called the Yankee Catholic. He sold 
it to the Catholic Society, January 11, 1832, for $1,600, 
subject to a mortgage to Nicholas Deveraux for $2,500.

by the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford, to 
offer their congratulations on the happy accomplishment of 
the purposes of your late visitation, beg leave to express in 
their behalf and our own, the satisfaction we feel in seeing 
you again restored to your family, and to the Diocese over 
which you preside. In the arduous duty you have performed, 
we conceive that you have rendered a most important service 
to the Church, not only in the distant and destitute regions 
you have visited ; but also in these Atlantic States, by open- 
ing new fields of Missionary enterprise, and calling our atten- 
tion, to the great duty of planting the Church, in the populous 
valley of the Mississippi. It is our earnest hope and prayer, 
that your highest wishes in reference to this object may be 
realized, and that the Diocese and College, which share your 
paternal cares, may largely participate in the honorable dis- 
tinction of carrying into effect the designs of the Society, to 
which you have rendered so important a service. 

With sentiments of high esteem. We remain Rt. Rev. Sir, 
your faithful Obe'' Servants, N. S. WH EATON,

March 16. To Rev. N. S. Wheaton, and I. Toucey and S. 
H. Huntington, Esq". 

Gentlemen, I thank you very sincerely for your note of 
yesterday, addressed to me in behalf of the Wardens and 
Vestry of Christ Church, and I beg you to assure tJievi^ that I 
receive with deep sensibility their kind congratulations on 
my return from a long and arduous journey. Any privations 
incident to this journey, have been more than compensated, 
by the kindness with which I have every where been re- 
ceived, and by the auspicious prospects for the advancement 
of our Church, which I have witnessed, as well as by the 
hearty greetings which I have received from my friends on 
my return. I am not so vain however as to make 2^ personal 
application of the lively interest which has been evinced in my 
visitation to the West. That interest belongs to the object 
of the Mission, in which I have been so fortunate as to be 
employed. I cordially unite with you in supplicating the 
divine Being, that he would graciously bless the efforts which 
have been made for the advancement of his kingdom, and 
that he would direct our counsels, and animate our exertions 
for sending the Gospel of his Son, and the Ministrations of 
his Church, to our destitute Brethren. 

Begging you to accept personally the assurance of my 

affectionate regards, and to convey the same assurance to the 

Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, 

I remain very truly.

RESIGNATION OF MR. WHEATON. 

October ij. To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, 
Hartford. 

Gentleme7i — Enclosed is the instrument of my Resignation 
of the Rectorship of this Parish, which you will have the 
goodness to lay before the members, at such time and in such 
manner as you may think proper. I have only to add that 
although I should much desire to have an interval of leisure, 
between the cessation of the active duties of the Parish, and 
my entrance on those of the College, the interest I feel, and 
shall never cease to feel in your welfare, will place any ser- 
vices I can perform, at your disposal, should you recpiire 
them, until they can in your judgment be safely discontinued. 
I am. Gentlemen, with unfeigned 

esteem and attachment.

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 287 

To the Parishioners of Christ Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen — Having been invited by a vote of the Trus- 
tees of Washington College, to accept of the Presidency of 
that Institution, after weighing the proposition with all the 
attention in my power, and with I trust a full sense of the re- 
sponsibility attending the step I am about to take, both in 
reference to the College, and the Parish, with which I have 
been so long, and to me, so happily connected, I have come 
to the conclusion, that it is my duty to accept it. 

If I have rightly interpreted my motives in this decision, 
the consideration which has most prevailed with me is the 
persuasion that my services may be more useful to the Church 
at large in the station to which I have been called, than in 
the one I now occupy. In this, I may be deceived, but I can 
truly say, that I have endeavored to place myself under the 
guidance of a sense of duty solely. 

Whether the measure will prove a judicious one, time only 
can determine. I can only say that I have done that which 
in view of all the circumstances, and with such illumination 
as God has afforded me, I believe to be for the best. The re- 
sults are in His hands, and I ardently hope and trust they 
will be happy. 

Had I allowed myself to be governed by my personal feel- 
ings towards you, my beloved Parishioners, a separation 
never would have been sought by me, so long as I had reason 
to hope that my services among you were received as they 
have been in times past, with indulgence and approbation. 

The uniform kindness I have experienced from you, indi- 
vidually and collectively, during more than eleven years I 
have served at your altar, your readiness to engage in every 
good work, your indulgence towards me personally, have not 
only left me without a single cause of complaint, but inspired 
me with sentiments of ardent attachment and esteem, which I 
am sure neither time nor change of circumstances can efface. 

With this brief expression of the motives which have con- 
ducted me to the present decision, and with the unfeigned 
assurance that your prosperity individually, and as a Parish, 
will ever be a source of heartfelt satisfaction to me, I now 



288 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

beg leave to tender my resignation of the Rectorship of the 
Parish of Christ Church, which your kindness has so long 
continued to me. In doing this, I am actuated by the hope 
and belief that your choice will fall on a successor more 
worthy of the office, and of you, and that the same delibera- 
tion, the same spirit of conciliation and brotherly love, the 
same disposition to preserve at all hazards "the unity of the 
spirit, in the bonds of peace," as you have heretofore mani- 
fested, will govern you in that important transaction. With 
sentiments of unabated affection and regard, I am Gentle- 
men, Your Friend and Brother in the bonds of the Gospel, 

N. S. WHEATON. 
Hartford, Tuesday evening, 

October 4'^ 1831. 

After reading the foregoing communications, the follow- 
ing preamble and resolutions were oiTered by I. Perkins, Esqr., 
and passed. 

Whereas, the Rector by note of 4"' instant, addressed to 
the Parishioners of Christ Church, has given notice of his 
election to the Presidency of Washington College, and having 
weighed the subject with all the attention in his power, in 
relation to the Parish, the College, and the Church at large, 
has come to the conclusion, in opposition to his own feelings, 
that duty requires him to accept that office, and resign his 
Rectorship, which he tenders to the Parish. Before acting 
on a question of so much feeling as well as importance, in 
relation to the future welfare of the Parish, her members 
will cherish the wisdom, and resolve to follow the parting 
advice of their beloved Rector, in relation to his successor, 
"to act with deliberation, in the spirit of conciliation and 
brotherly love," and a disposition to preserve at all hazards, 
"the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace." 

We however cannot fail to remark, that the separation of 
Minister and people, under ordinary circumstances of mutual 
attachment, must necessarily be painful, but when we look 
back for a series of more than twelve years ; when we bring 
to mind how great has been the accession of Parish mem- 
bers ; how many have been added to our communion ; what

harmony has prevailed and prosperity attended our Parish, 
in all respects, by the blessing of God, through the unceas- 
ing labours and pious administration of him who during 
that period has served at our altar, mingled in our afflictions, 
and received our approbation and esteem, his loss to us, col- 
lectively and individually, can be duly appreciated only by a 
just estimate of the blessings we have thus enjoyed. 

Had the question of separation been left to the determi- 
nation of the Parishioners, they doubtless would have ad- 
verted to the practical results of the union, the unparalleled 
unanimity that has prevailed in the Parish, in furtherance of 
the wishes and views of their Rector, the happy results of all 
his counsels, and the dangers incident to any important 
change especially in the constituent members of the body to 
be affected, as powerful arguments and motives against the 
measure. The question however has been decided by the 
Rector, in view of all attending circumstances on the ground 
of duty to the attainment of the highest good. A motive so 
worthy addresses itself to our approbation, and though he 
cease to be Rector of our Parish, that we may continue to 
enjoy his advice, and offices of love, we commend him to 
God's holy keeping. 

Therefore Voted, That the resignation of the Rev. Nathan- 
iel S. Wheaton, of the Rectorship of the Parish of Christ 
Church, be and hereby is accepted. 

Voted, That the Rev. Mr. Wheaton be requested to offici- 
ate as Rector, so far as his situation and circumstances will 
permit, until the Parish is provided for. 

Nov. 24, V. Voted, The successful skill and perseverance 
of Mr. James M. Goodwin, Jr., heretofore directed to the im- 
provement of the Choir of the Parish in sacred music, and 
his constant attendance on its performance in Church, insures 
to him an affectionate remembrance of his liberal services ; 
with sincere regret therefore, for the necessity which vacates 
his seat in the Orchestra, calls him from the Parish, and our 
Communion, we respectfully tender to him our thanks and 
the thanks of the Parish, and direct the Clerk to transmit to 
him a certified copy of this Vote,

from your late Rector, the Rev. Mr. Wheaton, in reference 
to the same subject. The commtinication was wholly unex- 
pected, and the honor you have conferred on me, by this 
unanimous choice, I feel to be wholly unmerited. The con-

flict of feeling to which it has given rise, has been great and 
painful, and the struggle it has cost me, to think of parting 
soon from a beloved flock, gathered together, through my in- 
strumentality, whose first and thus far whose only pastor I have 
been, and with whom I have continued for more than 12 
years, have been severe indeed. 

The result is, that after a full consideration of your kind 
and flattering proposal, and an earnest supplication for the 
Divine Guidance I feel it to be my duty to my famil)^, in 
reference to their education, and to the Church, that I should 
accept the same. This result, you as the organ of communi- 
cation, will have the goodness to communicate to the re- 
spected Parish of Christ Church. In coming to this deter- 
mination I relinquish a situation where I am happily and 
delightfully situated, and of which the emoluments are nearly 
double the compensation proposed in your Resolves. But I 
am willing to believe that the sum named may be adequate 
to the comfortable maintenance of my family. At all events, 
I feel as though I could confidently and cheerfully trust, 
without particular stipulation, the provision for our necessary 
temporal wants, to a people, whose Christian liberality is 
abundantly known, and whose " praise is in all the Churches." 
In accepting this offer I feel fully the weight of the respon- 
sibility assumed; and my own unworthiness to fill the place 
vacated by your late estimable Rector; but while distrustful of 
my own ability, I am cheered b}^ the thought that I shall 
have the benefit of his presence, and Counsel, as also that of 
your able Diocesan, and the countenance, support, and co- 
operation of an enlightened, intelligent, and pious Laity. My 
chief reliance is however on the aid of " Him without whom 
nothing is strong, nothing is holy," and by whom out of 
weakness, we may be made strong. 

Will you, my dear Sir, have the goodness to lay this com- 
munication before those in whose behalf you wrote, and to 
ascertain from them, and to communicate to me, the farthest 
period, until which, they would be willing to dispense with 
my services. Your late Rector, the Bishop, and other of the 
Resident clergy, for whose kind aid I shall apply, will, no

doubt, take care that your Church shall not be closed, until it 
may be possible for me to arrive. It is now mid-winter and 
I should feel almost reluctant to bring on my family, consist- 
ing- of a Wife and seven children, most of whom are small, 
until about the opening of spring. In addition to which it 
will take some time for me to arrange my domestic and 
pecuniary affairs, nor would I be willing to leave my beloved 
people here, without giving them some short period for pro- 
viding a successor. The reasonableness of these causes of 
delay, will, no doubt, be obvious to you all, and secure from 
you a little indulgence as to time. 

I shall await the expression of opinion on the subject. 
With due acknowledgments to the Parishioners of Christ 
Church for their kind preferences, and earnest prayers that 
our future union may be productive of good to their eternal 
interests, and with considerations of personal respect for your 
family, I remain. Dear Sir, 

Your friend and obedient Servant, in Christ, 

HUGH SMITH.

Dec. 1831. 

Rev. Hugh Smith, 

Dear Sir — Your letter of 21st ult. came in season for a 
New Years gift to the Parish, especially to the Wardens and 
Vestry, who rejoiced for its contents, and the prospect of set- 
tlement and happiness it opens to the Parish. They appointed 
a committee consisting of Mess. S. Tudor, C. Nichols, and 
myself, to communicate their sentiments in reply. 

In parting from their late Rector the trial was severe; they 
had enjoyed his talents, remembered his worth, and called to 
mind with what diligence he had devoted the gifts of God to 
himself, in promoting the prosperity, happiness, and piety of 
the people of his immediate charge. As a Pastor we have

grown with his years, and have gained strength in his ex- 
perience; he had participated in our joys and sympathised 
with our sorrows, and you will be rejoiced rather than jeal- 
ous, to find us cheered by the thought that we shall still have 
the benefit of his presence and counsels. 

On the subject of salary, no meeting of the Parish having 
been called since the receipt of your letter, the Wardens and 
Vestry cannot now speak with authority. They however are 
confident the Parish will always be careful that the provision 
for their Rector shall be found adequate for the comfortable 
support of his family. The generous confidence with which 
you propose to wait the experiment of living on the salary 
that has been established by the Parish, will not, they trust, 
fail to be met with corresponding equitable feeling, to the 
mutual satisfaction of the parties concerned. 

On the 5th inst, the active duties of President will de- 
volve on Mr. Wheaton; from that period, therefore, no one 
until your arrival will be constantly charged with the care of 
the Parish. The services of the Church will however be per- 
formed by Mr. Wheaton, when the Bishop or other clergy are 
not able to relieve him. It was not expected that you would 
be able to leave Augusta immediately, or that you would be 
willing to remove your family during the severity of winter. 
The Parish indeeds desires your presence as early as possible, 
as soon as a due regard to the people you are to leave, the 
settlement of your affairs, and the safety, convenience and 
comfort of your family will permit. 

Easter Monday, (16 April,) begins our Parish year; on 
that day the pews will be leased for the year, and your pres- 
ence sometime previous, will no doubt be of importance, es- 
pecially in respect to the leases. 

The Wardens and Vestry desire a respectful remembrance 
to you and your family; the committee tender their respects; 
and for myself, impressed with pleasing anticipations, Dear 
Sir, I am, with great considerations of respect, 

Your Obedient Servant, 

ISAAC PERKINS. 



294 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

N. B. I have just received enclosed from S. M. Laug-hlin, 
Sec, a copy from the minutes of a meeting, (holden Dec. 21st, 
1 83 1,) of the Wardens and Vestry of St. Paul's Church, 
Aug-usta, also a copy of address referred to in the minutes, 
which will be laid before the Wardens and Vestry of Christ 
Church, when assembled. 

A committee was subsequently appointed " to see that 
the house about to be occupied by Rev. Hugh Smith be 
cleaned, either by Wm. Ely, the owner, or at the expense 
of the Parish." And also, to procure "such assistance 
as may be necessary, for unpacking his furniture, and 
placing the same in order in his house." 

Feb. 21, V. Voted, That N. Morgan, George Beach, and 
S. H. Huntington be a committee, to collect all information 
requisite to the erection of a Chapel, and to report to a future 
meeting of the Vestry. 

Voted, That Nathan Morgan be a committee to call on 
Deacon Colton, and engage if he thinks best, the old Con- 
ference room, as a temporary accommodation for a Lecture 
Room. 

Voted, That I. Perkins be a committee to negotiate for the 
Masonic Hall. 

The " old Conference room " belonged to and had been 
used by the First Ecclesiastical Society for weekly meet- 
ings and lectures. It was a building of one story, and was 
in the rear of the house owned and occupied by Deacon 
Aaron Colton in Temple street. An occasional attendance 
there with a maiden aunt brings him clearly to mind, 
with his own peculiarities, and with the peculiarities of 
one of his brother deacons, Aaron Chapin. The pitch- 
pipe, which was used in the setting of the tune, was quite 
an attraction to a youngster, and the sounds were alto- 
gether more musical than the notes which came from the 
throats of either of the good deacons, that of Deacon 
Chapin in particular. Both of them were good, honest,

industrious, cheerful, Christian men, enjoying the univer- 
sal love and esteem of the community. 

This Conference room was made vacant by the pur- 
chase of the building next north of the Center Church, 
by the First Society. It has been used for various pur- 
poses since that time, and was fitted up and occupied for 
one year by the Church City Missionary Society. 

May p. At a Vestry meeting held at the Church on 
Wednesday evening May 9*** 1832. 

Voted, That 50 dollars be offered as a reward for the ap- 
prehension of the person or persons, who committed depre- 
dations on the Church, by throwing stones and brickbats 
through the south window of the west end of said Church, 
and that the same be inserted in the Review, Mirror and Epis- 
copal Watchman.

"50 Dollars reward." 
will be given to any person who shall give information so 
that the perpetrators of the trespass committed in the night 
of Sunday 6*'' of May instant, by throwing stones and brick- 
bats through the South window of the West end of the 
Episcopal Church, may be brought to punishment. It is be- 
lieved our citizens generally will take an interest in discover- 
ing the perpetrators of so foul a deed, and that the vigilance 
of the City Watch will be increased, to prevent disorders, in 
the night season. By order of the Wardens and Vestry of 
Christ Church, Hartford May S"" 1832. 

M. A. TUTTLE, Clerk. 

June 26, V. Voted, That Otis Cook be employed to ex- 
amine the timbers over the ceiling of the Church, and give 
his opinion, whether any, and if an}', what measures are re- 
quired for ventilating the loft in question, to secure said 
timbers from decay by dry rot, or any other cause. 

Dec^ ig, V. Voted, That Messrs. Wm. H. Imlay, S. Tudor, 
and Geo. Beach, be a Committee to confer with Mr. J. Good- 
win Jr., with regard to the price of the Old Court House, and 
report to a future meeting of the vestry.

THE OLD COURT HOUSE. 

April 75, F. At a meeting of the members of the Parish 
held at the Church this day at 7 o'clock P. M. agreeably to 
adjournment, Isaac Perkins being moderator stated that the 
object of the meeting was to devise some plan for the Parish 
to become in possession of the Old Court House property. 
It was now in the market at two thousand Dollars, subject to 
a ground rent of ninety-three dollars per annum, and that a 
considerable part of the requisite sum for its purchase had 
already been subscribed, mostly by individuals of the Parish. 

After some conversation with regard to the propriety of 
taxing the members of the parish for the remainder of the 
purchase money it was finally Voted, That Samitel Tudor be 
a Committee to proctire additional subscriptions for the pur- 
chase of the Old Court House. 

It was voted July 8, that the Parish accept the subscrip- 
tion upon the terms upon which it has been, made, and also, 
that the sum not exceeding four hundred dollars be appro- 
priated for the purpose of removing the Old Court House, 
and the purchase of the land in accordance with the subscrip- 
tion. 

August IS, V. Voted, That Isaac Perkins be a Committee 
to rent the Old Conference room occasionally, when it will 
not interfere with the wants of the Parish. 

There was evidently some discontent in the parish 
concerning the Rector, the reason for which at this time 
is not very apparent. Some who had been instrumental

in bringing him here from the South, had now ceased to 
be his friends, and Mr. vSmith addressed the following let- 
ter to the Wardens and Vestry, resigning his position. 

Sept. 2. " To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church 
Parish, 

Gentlemen. Being disposed to enter upon another sphere 
of duty in which I have been invited to labor, I hereby re- 
spectfully present to you, and through you to the Parish, my 
resignation of the rectorship of Christ Church, in the duties 
of which I have been very happily engaged for more than a 
year past, — the resignation to take effect from the first of 
October next, or sooner should it be desired. With my best 
wishes for your individual happiness, and for the welfare of 
the Parish you represent, I remain, Gentlemen, 

Your friend and servant in Christ, 

HUGH SMITH. 
Hartford, Sept. 2^, 1833." 

A parish meeting was held September 9th, when action 
was taken by ballot, whether the resignation should be re- 
ceived, and there were in the negative forty-five votes, in 
the affirmative twelve, and one blank. Mr. Samuel Tudor 
and Mr. George Beach were appointed a committee to 
communicate the above vote to Mr. Smith. 

An adjourned meeting was held on the 12th of the 
same month, when the following communication was re- 
ceived from Mr. Smith. 

Sept. 12. Hartford, Sept. 12, 1833. 

To the Wardens of Christ Church Parish, Hartford. 

My Friends and Brethren, Through a Committee of the 
Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, I duly received an 
official statement of a vote passed at a parish meeting, held on 
the 9th inst. declining by a very large majority, to accept the 
resignation which I had tendered to the Vestry, and through 
them to the Parish. For the tacit approval of my past 
course, and the wish of my continuance among you, implied 
in that vote, and subsequently most frequently and most af- 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS, 299 

feelingly expressed to me unofficially, and privately, permit 
me to return my sincere thanks. After allowing to that ex- 
pression of your feelings and wishes, its just weight, and 
after giving to the subject to which it referred the most 
serious, dispassionate, and full consideration, in the spirit of 
prayer for guidance from on High — I feel it my duty, once 
more to present to you my resignation of the Rectorship, 
accompanied by the earnest request that you zvill accept the same, and 
consider the present communication as definitive — the resignation 
to take effect at the time before proposed, viz., Oct. ist, un- 
less an earlier date be desired. 

To my reasons for this I need not advert. You will not, 
I am persuaded, impeach their purity. Suffice it to say, that 
they are such as convince my judgment, satisfy my con- 
science, and such as will, I trust, bear the inspection of 
the "Searcher of Hearts." 

I should do injustice to my own feelings did I refrain 
from expressing my deep and lively gratitude for the many 
acts of kindness and favor which I have received, and which 
it is my regret that I cannot adequately repay — and also the 
affectionate feelings which so much undeserved kindness has 
caused me to entertain. Permit me further to add my 
earnest desire and request that all subjects of a painful or 
harrassing character may henceforth be dropped, both in 
public and private, and that the brief period of my remain- 
ing pastoral intercourse with you may be mutually improved 
to the best and holiest purposes of Christian edification. 

And now, Brethren, that God may shed upon you and 
upon 5^our counsels, the spirit of peace, harmony, and wis- 
dom — that he may enable you to "stand fast in one spirit, 
striving together for the faith of the Gospel " — that he may 
"send to you a Pastor after his own heart " — and that he may 
bless you individually and collectively with all needful bless- 
ings, temporal and spiritual, is the heart's desire and prayer 
of Your affec*- friend and servant in Christ, 

HUGH SMITH. 

After the reading of the above letter, the resig:nation 
of Mr. Smith was accepted, and the Bishop was requested 



300 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

to dissolve the pastoral connection between him and the 
parish. 

Voted, That upon thus separating from our Rector, we 
would express to him our grateful acknowledgments for his 
services while he has resided among us, and would also 
assure him of our earnest prayers that the Lord will keep 
him, and bless him with his most gracious favor in his person, 
in his family, and in his ministry. 

Voted, That C. Sigourney, I. Toucey, and S. Tudor be a 
committee to respond to the communication just received 
from the Rev. Mr. Smith, and to make known to him the 
doings of this meeting. 

It is difficult to ascertain why Mr. vSmith did not longer 
remain in Hartford. There is a suspicion that the resig- 
nation came from some plain speaking which was regarded 
by a few as too personal. He followed Mr. Wheaton, and 
was unlike him, and, as I have said in another place, may 
have " suffered from the contrasts which unwise people are 
apt to draw, as often without reason as with it." He was 
devoutly religious, an excellent preacher, a fearless ex- 
pounder of the Word. Both before he came here and 
after he left, he was regarded as an able, faithful, and con- 
scientious clergyman. His last rectorship of eleven years 
at St. Peter's, New York, showed that he had found a 
people with whom he was in sympathy. 

It is no part of the plan of this history to deal exten- 
sively with the lives of our rectors, or their ministry 
among us ; and, besides, the memory of Dr. Smith has not 
been neglected by his many friends. He was brought ac-. 
tively to the front in 1843, when, with Rev. Dr. Anthon, 
he felt it to be his duty to " protest against the ordination 
of Mr. Arthur Carey, to the order of deacons." No one 
who reads what he said on his death bed to Dr. Anthon can 
fail to recognize the high sense of duty and the sincerity 
of the man. " My friend and brother," said he, "when 
you and I first began the ministry, I think we laid too 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 3OI 

much stress upon the outzvard. You know what I mean, 
but since then, Anthon, both of us, thanks be to God, 
have been better taug'ht, I trust, how to preach simply 
and fully Christ and him crucified." Looking at me very 
earnestly, as I was preparing to leave him, he observed, 
" And now remember that what I said four years ago, 
when I was so ill that I did not expect to live, I say again 
In many things which I have done, I believe that I did 
wrong ; but in that one matter^- when you and I stood up 
to bear our testimony for Christ and the Church, I feel 
persuaded, noiu as ever, mark it well, that we did right.'" 

It has been attempted to present as fair a representa- 
tion as could be obtained of the different Rectors of the 
Parish, and at a tiine when they were in Hartford. It 
was difficult to learn where a portrait of Dr. Smith could 
be found, but an advertisement in the ChurcJniian, by Mr. 
James J. Goodwin, led to successful researches by him, 
and a fine copy of the portrait is presented in this volume. 
It brought with it, also, an abundance of material for a 
sketch of his life. Some of the particulars are presented 
in this brief condensation. 

The Rev. Hugh vSmith was born August 29, 1795, at 
the Narrows, Long Island. He was a graduate from Co- 
lumbia College in 18 13, and pursued his studies for the 
ministry under Bishop Hobart, from whom he received 
Deacon's Orders in 1816, and Priest's Orders in 1819. 
After a short absence in Savannah he returned to New 
York, and was assistant to Rev. Dr. Bowen of Grace 
Church. In 18 19 he became Rector of the Episcopal 
Church at Augusta, Georgia, where he remained until 
1 83 1. He was elected Rector of Christ Church in the 
same year, and resigned the same in September, 1833. 
After some time spent in missionary work in New York, 
he was chosen Rector of St. Peter's Church, where he re- 
mained until his death, March 25, 1849. He was for a 
short time engaged in the General Theological Seminary,

and in 1838 received the honorary degree of Doctor of 
Divinity, from Columbia College. 

Ocf. 2, P. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be 
authorized to take up and from time to time reissue scrip, 
in the same form and subscribed by the same officers hereto- 
fore prescribed for any sum or sums, of the funded debt of 
the Parish, as occasion may require. And also from time to 
time to cause security to be made for any debt of the Parish, 
by note or notes, by the Treasurer thereof, for the time 
being and in the form following, with such additions and 
variations as to time, place, interest, and names, as occasion 
may require, to wit: 

$ 

The parish of Christ Church, of Hartford, hereby promises 

to pay to or order, the sum of for 

value received. 

City of Hartford, 

Witness the Treasurer of said Parish, 

A. B. 

Oct. 75, V. Voted, That the Treasurer be directed to 
issue a note for the sum of three thousand, five hundred and 
eighty three 72/100 dollars, with interest from the i"of Oct. 
instant, being on account of the balance due to the late 
building coinmittee, to such persons as they may direct, in 
conformity to the vote of the parish passed at their meeting 
held Oct 2^ 1833. 

As I understand it, after all the money which had been 
paid in for the building of the church had been spent, 
there was still due to the building committee, either for 
sums advanced, or for which they were responsible, the 
sum specified above. 

Nov. 6, V. Voted, That Mr, Chamberlain be directed to 
examine and make the necessary repairs on the Pillars of the 
Church; and that Mess. Tudor and Perkins be a committee 
to superintend the work. 

It was found that the dry rot was affecting the wood

work about the pillars ; the fitting being so tight that 
there could be no circulation of air. The remedy was 
found by making augur holes at the top and bottom, and 
it proved an effectual remedy. No young wife was ever 
more careful of her new house than were these men of the 
building which they had recently erected, and of which 
they were justly proud. 

Dec. J, V. Voted, (Subject to the approbation of the 
Parish at its next Easter meeting) that the Treasurer of this 
Parish be, and hereby is, authorized, and directed to pay to 
the Treasurer of the Bishop's Fund, for the purpose of mak- 
ing up the deficiency in the Bishop's salary, as the sum was 
fixed in a resolution of the Convention, passed June 2°^ 1831, 
the sum of Fift}^ Dollars, on the first day of August next, 
and the same sum on the first day of August annually, there- 
after, for the term of five years, or till the increase of the 
Bishop's permanent Fund shall equal the amount of the 
salary fixed by the Vote aforesaid, Frovided however that this 
vote shall not be obligatory unless the deficiency of the 
Bishop's salary is made up by the other parishes in the 
Diocese. 

Whereas, the requisite sum of Two thousand Dollars, for 
the purchase of the Old Court House * and lease, has been 
subscribed agreeably to the vote of the Parish, July 8"', 1833. 

Voted, That Nathan Morgan, Cyprian Nichols, and Tho^ 
Lloyd, be a Committee to dispose of the Old Court House, 
and cause the same to be demolished, and do* all other things 
in conformity with the conditions of said subscription, and 
to carry the same into effect. 

Voted, That Thomas Belknap be, and hereby is, appointed 
to collect said subscriptions. 

* The Old Court House was built by order of the Colony of Connecticut in 
lyig, and was occtipied by the Colonial Assembly, and by the General Assem- 
bly of the State until 1796. It stood on State House Square, near the present 
City Hall, and was removed to Church Street at about the above date. It 
had been occupied for various purposes, lastly as a wagon shop and plough 
manufactory. The close proximity was considered dangerous to the Church 
in case of a fire, and so it was purchased. Rev. Roger Viets administered the 
Communion " in Hartford Court House March 2nd, 1766, to 6 Communicants." 



304 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Voted, That George Beach, Samuel Tudor, and W. H. 
Imlay be a Committee to obtain a draft for a tower to the 
Church, make an estimate of the expense, and report. 

1834- 

Jan. 6. In October last a committee of the Vestry had 
been appointed " to enquire for some person suitable for 
Rector." They reported favorably on two names, Jan. 6, 
1834, and George Beach, Wm. H, Imlay, Samuel Tudor, 
and Isaac Toucey, were appointed " to proceed to New 
York and further if expedient, and obtain information 
with regard to Rev. Dr. Ducachet, of Norfolk, Virginia, 
and also Rev. Mr. Johnson, of Alexandria." 

Jan. 21. At a Parish meeting the committee of the 
Vestry reported favorably on the Rev. Dr. Ducachet, and 
it was 

Voted, That the Rev. Henry W. Ducachet, of Norfolk, 
Virginia, having the approbation of the Bishop of this 
Diocese, is requested to accept of the Rectorship of this 
Parish. 

The Rev. Dr. Wheaton was requested to proceed to 
Norfolk and present the communication of the Bishop to 
Dr. Ducachet, informing him of his election. But all the 
efforts were futile. The record is brief. 

Feb. 21. At a meeting of the Wardens and Vestry, 
Feb. 2ist, at the house of S. Tudor, Esq., a communication 
from the Rev. Henry W. Ducachet, declining the call of 
the Parish was read. 

March 17, V. Voted, That the Rt. Rev. Bishop Brown- 
ell, and the Rev. Dr. Wheaton, be requested to take charge 
of the Parish for the six months next ensuing, and that 
measures be taken to procure Mr. Vinton of the Theological 
Seminary to assist them. 

Voted, That the Committee heretofore appointed to procure 
a Rector be authorized to carry the foregoing Vote into effect.

to him in quarterly payments so long as he shall continue to 
be Rector of this Parish.

to approve of the election of the Rev. George Burgess to be 
Rector of this Parish. 

Voted, That it be referred to the Wardens and Vestry to 
carry into effect the Votes just passed. 

Few men ever came into a parish and captured the 

hearts of the people so quickly as did Mr. Burgess. What 

was said of him after his first appearance, b}^ one who 

went home and told the family " that this man was the 

one to be chosen as rector," was evidently the opinion of 

all.

water by a pipe from the well on the part reserved by the 
Parish, the said Beresford building an arch over said well, 
and to have access thereto from his own premises through 
said arch. 

This well was used until the introduction of water 
into the city, and like most of the old wells in town was 
supposed to be of special purity. The Chapel was built 
over it and its location was in the present gangway. It 
was filled up when the Chapel was taken down. 

April 20, P. Voted, That the Treasurer of this Parish 
be, and hereby is, authorized to execute a lease, or convey- 
ance by deed or indenture, or otherwise, to Dr. James 
Beresford, of certain leasehold premises belonging to the 
Parish, said conveyance to be in accordance with the provis- 
ions of a written agreement entered into by the Wardens 
and Vestry, and Dr. Beresford, bearing date the 13th day of 
March, 1835. 

April 2S, V. Voted, That W"\ H. Imlay, Nathan Morgan,

*Miss Julia Draper, with her sisters, came from Greenfield, Mass., and 
opened a school for young ladies in October, 1831. The house on Trumbull 
street, at the foot of Pratt street, was occupied by them, and here the school 
was conducted for thirty years or more, very successfully and very creditably. 
The teachers and many of the scholars attended Christ Church, and when 
seated in the gallery were in close proximity to the students of the college> 
who were seated just east of them. It is worthy of note, that at this moment, 
there is a movement to place a memorial Tablet on the walls of the Church by 
her former pupils, as a token of their affection and respect.

Voted, That Staves be obtained for the tythingmen as a 
badge of office, and that the Clerk obtain them. 

Natha?i Morgan was born in the town of Groton, 
October lo, 1786. He came to Hartford from Hebron, 
where he had been established as a merchant for a short 
time, and probably was soon connected with Christ 
Church, as he is on the list of those assessed for taxes in 
18 10. He was a vestryman in 1820, and was repeatedly 
chosen afterwards; was Junior Warden in 1827 and 1830, 
and Senior Warden in 1831. He was zealous in all that 
pertained to the Parish and generous in its support. He 
was extensively engaged in mercantile business on Com- 
merce street, near the bridge. His residence was in 
Morgan street, where he and his brother Denison had 
built two houses in 1825. He was an intelligent, in- 
dustrious, and religious man, much respected and beloved 
for his amiable disposition and sound sense. He married 
Lydia Brewster, January 6, 1808, but left no family, and 
died January 21, 1837. 

Denison Morgan came to Hartford several years after 
his brother, and was engaged with him in business near 
the river. He is found on the records as early as 18 19, as 
a contributor to parish expenses. He was a member of 
the Vestry in 1825, and was chosen many times after- 
wards. In 1840 he was Junior Warden, and Senior 
Warden in 1841-43, 1851-54. He was much valued as a 
parish member, interested and influential in all its under- 
takings. It can be said of him and his brother Nathan, 
that they both were staunch churchmen, men of excellent 
sense, good judgment, and perfectly reliable. Mr. Morgan 
was born October 29, 1790, and died May 7, 1855. He was 
married to Ursula Brainard October 10, 181 5.

About a Difference of Opinion. 

Sept. J. At a meeting of the Rector, Wardens, and Ves- 
try of the Parish of Christ Church, Hartford, Sept. 3, 1837, 
present, the Rector, Wardens, and Mess. Buck, Morgan, 
Beach, Preston, Belknap, Lee, Colton, and Hoadley, being 
all the members except Messrs. Tudor, Huntington, Wood- 
bridge, and Ripley (who was sick). 

It having been represented to this meeting that applica- 
tion has been made to the Trustees of the Bishop's Fund for 
a Power of Attorney to vote on stock in the Phoenix Bank 
standing in the name of said Trustees, at the annual meet- 
ing for the choice of Directors, to be holden on Thursday 
next, the 7th instant, and that said Trustees have granted a 



312 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

power of Attorney for the purpose aforesaid ; and whereas 
it is understood that there are two candidates for the Presi- 
dency of said Bank, both members of this Parish, and com- 
municants, 

Resolved^ unanimously, that we regret the granting of said 
Power of Attorney, as fraught with evil to the interest of 
the Episcopal Church in this State and tending to disturb 
that harmony which has so long prevailed in this Parish. 

Resolved^ unanimously, that the Person having said Power 
be and he hereby is requested not to use it at the said meet- 
ing of the Stockholders, and also, that the several Trustees 
of said Fund be respectfully and most strongly requested to 
annul and cancel said Power. 

Resolved, That copies of these resolutions be furnished to 
the Trustees and to the Gentleman holding the said Power 
of Attorney. 

Voted, That the Junior Warden be a Committee to com- 
municate the above to the person holding the Proxy, and 
also to the Trustees of the Bishop's Fund. 

These resolutions have reference to the controversy 
which existed between Mr. Charles Sigourney and Mr. 
George Beach. Several pamphlets were published from 
both of them, which created considerable excitement in 
financial circles at the time. Mr. Sigourney intended to 
resign the presidency of the Phoenix Bank, which he had 
held for sixteen years, and desired that Mr. Samuel Tudor, 
who was a director in the bank, should be his succes- 
sor. Mr. Beach, who had been its cashier for twenty 
years, was a candidate for the place also, and on both 
sides most earnest endeavors were made to secure proxies 
for the election in September. A part of the securities of 
the Bishop's Fund was invested in the stock of the bank, 
and hence the statement that the " Trustees have granted 
a power of attorney " to one of the parties, and that the 
Trustees were requested to annul it. The story is suf- 
ficiently told in these resolutions and in this explanation. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 313 

Nov. 4, A letter from W. J. Babcock was read asking to

mittee to confer with Mr. Babcock respecting his commtmi- 
cation, and to inform him, that the Vestry having before 
increased his salary to $300 under the express understand- 
ing on their part, that he would remain in his present 
situation, with his present salary, through his whole collegi- 
ate course, and that they cannot with propriety accede to his 
request. [Afterwards the Vestry ''voted, that they will not 
insist upon the fulfilment of the contract if he considers it 
disadvantageous to himself."] 

1838. 

April 16, P. Voted, That W. H. Imlay, Phillip Ripley, 
Sam'. Tudor, Ge". Beach, and Samuel H. Huntington, be a 
committee to make an estimate of the expense of complet- 
ing the Church with Stone, also with wood or other materials, 
to comport with the original plan, also, to devise a plan for 
creating a sinking fund, for the gradual liquidation of the 
Parish debt, and report at the adjourned Parish meeting. 

April 30, P. The committee appointed at the last parish 
meeting reported a plan for the gradual liquidation of the 
parish debt, which now amounted to about $23,500. 

The plan of the committee contemplated the formation 
of a sinking- fund by the payment of twenty-four hun- 
dred dollars annually, which, with the accruing interest 
would, it was expected, pay the indebtedness by April i, 
1854. The Parish voted the above sum, and the "War- 
dens and Treasurer were appointed a committee to carry 
it into effect." No more was heard about it after this. 

They also reported that,

pense of completing the tower of the church of stone, wood. 



314 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

or other materials, beg leave to report that they have in pur- 
suance of their appointment procured from Messrs. Rath- 
bone & Wheaton an estimate of the cost of completing the 
tower of the church according to the plan herewith submit- 
ted, which is $9,290 for the stone and wood-work. 

An important reduction in the cost of completing it ac- 
cording to the plan submitted, may be made by reducing the 
height about 14 feet, and by simplifying the style of the work, 
without, in the opinion of your committee, any perceptible 
injury to its appearance or proportion, say of $1,400, leaving 
the cost to the Parish $7,890, in place of the first named sum. 

The cost of the balustrade and pinnacles upon the main 
body of the church, to complete it according to the original 
plan, is not estimated or included in either of the above 
sums ; these estimates refer exclusively to the tower. 

The labor, time, and difficulty of procuring a plan of the 
Church and tower, rendered it impossible for your committee 
to obtain estimates in season for this meeting — of the cost 
of completing the tower of any other material except stone ; 
the estimate has been carefully made, and Messrs. Rathbone 
and Wheaton are here present to answer any questions which 
any member of the Parish wish to propound to them for the 
purpose of obtaining more particular information. 
All of which is respectfully submitted by 
Wm. H. Imlay, 

in behalf of the Committee. 

The report was recommitted with instructions to make 
further estimates and report to a future meeting, and Dr. 
Sumner was added to the committee. 

Voted, That whenever the sum of $4,000 is subscribed for 
completing the Tower of the Church, this Parish will pro- 
ceed to raise the balance by a loan or otherways and com- 
plete the tower, as soon as the necessary funds can be raised. 

Voted, That a committee of five be appointed to solicit 
subscriptions to the amount of $4,000, to be expended in 
completing the tower of the church, to report to a future 
meeting of the Parish, and J. B. Eldredge, J. S. Morgan, 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 315 

Hezekiah Brainard, Chas. A. Colton, P. F. Robbins were ap- 
pointed as said committee. 

Nov 17, V. Voted, That the Wardens be authorized to 
permit Mr. E. R. Johnston to use the Chapel for the purpose 
of teaching sacred music at such times as it is not wanted 
for the purposes of the Parish, provided, that he furnish his 
own fuel, lights, &c. &c., pay the expenses of keeping the 
room in order, and make good all damages by any member 
or members of his schools. 

Dec"". 22, V. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be a 
Committee to preserve order in the Church on Monday even- 
ing, being Christmas Eve. 

1839. 

Feb. p, V. Voted, That the Senior Warden and Mr. Tudor 
be a committee to fix the south-east window on the south 
side of the Church in some suitable manner to protect the 
Church from risk of damage by fire. 

When Dr. Bacon's barn, which was near the Church, 
was burned there was considerable danger from the fire, 
and Dr. Wheaton did not improve matters much when he 
dashed cold water upon the heated glass. Large spikes 
were afterwards driven into the walls near the top of the 
windows on which it was proposed to hang carpets, or 
protection of some kind, which might be kept wet, in case 
such an incident should happen again. . The building 
near the southeast window was but a few feet distant, and 
was equally dangerous, and needed like protection. 

Feb. 16, F. The committee who were appointed at an 
adjourned meeting of the Parish of Christ Church, held in 
the Chapel in this city on the 30th of April, 1838, to solicit 
subscriptions for completing the tower of the Church, beg 
leave respectfully to Report, 

That they have devoted much time to the performance 
of the duty, by no means a pleasant one, which the Parish 
assigned them, and have now the satisfaction of stating that 



3l6 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

they have succeeded in obtaining a subscription of over $4,000, 
although a large number of wealthy members of the Parish 
have not yet been called upon and have not subscribed ; 
and therefore that they suppose the vote of the Parish passed 
at the meeting above mentioned, which declares that " when- 
ever said sum of $4,000 is subscribed this Parish will proceed 
to raise the balance by loan or otherways and complete the 
tower of the Church," is now binding upon the Parish, inas- 
much as the conditions of the vote have been complied with. 
The committee would also beg leave to inform the Parish 
that in accordance with the suggestions of several influential 
friends of the undertaking, the conditions of the subscrip- 
tions were so arranged as to make them payable in three an- 
nual installments, the first being "due April i, 1839, — the sec- 
ond April I, 1840,- — the third April i, 1841. This condition 
of the subscriptions was acceded to by the committee be- 
cause it was believed that two or three years' time would be 
required to complete the tower, and also because many gen- 
tlemen assured them that they would give more liberally 
upon such terms, all of which is respectfully submitted, 

John B. Eldredge, Chairman. 

The report was accepted, and this vote was passed. 

Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be empowered to ap- 
point a committee to superintend the completion of the 
tower, and make contracts for the same, and that they be re- 
quested to procure a plan or plans, and an estimate of the 
expense of said tower, and present the same to a meeting of 
the Parish, to be called for that purpose. 

The younger and ambitious element had pushed this 
matter vigorously, and had succeeded in committing the 
Parish to its ultimate success. 

The Parish meeting had also been called to consider 
"the subject of erecting a Nezv CJiiirch^' which was pre- 
sented as follows : 

Whereas, The Parish of Christ Church under the divine 
blessing has so much increased, that, in order to its further 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 317 

increase, further accommodations are necessary; and JVhcreas 
tlie progress of the town and the general prosperity of the 
Episcopal Church, justify the belief that under the same 
Supreme blessing great additions may still be made to the 
number of the members of that Church in this place; and 
Whereas every other object must be regarded as subordinate 
to those which directly furnish the means of Grace, and 
enlarge the Church of God, therefore Resolved, That in the 
opinion of this meeting the time has arrived when it is 
expedient to attempt, in reliance on the favor of Divine 
Providence, the establishment of another Parish of the 
Episcopal Church in this city. 

Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting the cost of 
any new Church which may be at this time erected, should 
not exceed the sum of $10,000. 

Resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, such a con- 
nection between a new Parish and the present would be 
desirable, as would unite the pecuniary interest of both, at 
least for a time, while it should leave the Spiritual charge of 
each to its own peculiar Pastor. 

Resolved, That the Gentlemen who have subscribed for 
the completion of the Tower of the Church, be invited to 
give their consent to the relinquishment of that object for 
the present, and to the appropriation of the suras respectively 
subscribed by them, with such additions as they may be 
prepared to offer, for the erection of another Church. 

After " a lengthy discussion," the preamble and 
resolutions " were ordered to be laid on the table ;" the 
majority were of the opinion that the tower should first 
be finished. 

The report of the committee to solicit subscriptions to 
complete the tower was ordered to be taken up, and was 
accepted, and it was 

Voted, That Thomas Belknap, Lemuel Humphre}^ Dudley 
Buck, William T. Lee, and Walter Phelps, be appointed a 
committee to solicit subscriptions for the erection of a new 
church in this city. 



3l8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The committee, whose report had been recommitted, 
reported at length on March 9th, that they had obtained 
"proposals for the completion of the Tower of the church, 
agreeably to Mr. Wheaton's plan, as drawn by Mr. Austen, 
to be completed all of stone," or part wood and part stone, 
and then proceed to state the difficulties of procuring- it 
to be done with stone, and argue in favor of the plan by 
wood and stone. However, they concluded their report 
by recommending " that the Wardens and Vestry, or the 
Committee be authorized to use either stone or wood, in 
the construction of the Tower, at their discretion." 

The following vote was then passed: 

Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be and hereby are 
authorized to proceed to make contracts, and to take other 
measures necessary to complete the Tower in accordance 
with the report of the committee made this evening, and 
accepted. 

Mr. Imlay resigned his position as chairman of the 
committee, and the Vestry appointed James M. Goodwin 
and Wm. T. Lee additional members, and left it with the 
committee to appoint their own chairman. As a result 
the tower was built wholly of stone, and its beautiful 
proportions have been admired by all. The church is 
now complete with the exception of the pinnacles and 
battlement, contemplated in the original plan. 

Subscriptions for Completing the Tower. 

Whereas the Parish of Christ Church in this City at its late 
annual meeting, passed a vote pledging itself to complete the 
Tower of the Church, according to the original plan, when- 
ever the sum of four thousand dollars should be raised by 
subscription ; Therefore the undersigned hereby agree to 
pay the sums set against their names respectively, to aid in 
accomplishing this object, to be paid in three annual instal- 
ments, the first, on the i" of April, 1839, the second on the i'' 
of April 1840, and the third on the i'' of April 1841. The 
money to be paid into the hands of a Committee duly 
appointed to receive the same.

Phillip Ripley, be authorized to procure a new Bell for this 
Parish, — provided that the cost shall be raised by a tax. 

Voted, That the City Common Council have leave to use 
the water from the Church for filling a reservoir to be laid 
in Main Street. 

Voted, That the City have liberty to sink a reservoir in

front of the Church, imder the direction of the Wardens and 
Vestry. 

Oct. 24, V. Voted, That a Committee be appointed to 
cause if possible the excavation in front of the Church de- 
signed for a City reservoir, to be filled up, and if it cannot 
be filled up, that the Committee be requested to superintend 
the construction of said reservoir, and take care that the 
same be built in the most substantial and secure manner. 

There was for a short time quite an excitement about 
the building of this reservoir in front of the Church. In 
the process of construction it was found that the work 
was imperfectly done, and it was feared that it was not of 
sufficient strength to resist the pressure caused by the 
tower of the Church. During the progress of the excava- 
tion, the sides of it repeatedly fell in, and extended so far 
into the street that there was a partial justification for the 
suspicion. It is not surprising, therefore, that the Vestry 
passed the vote of October 24th, 

The Council met on the 25th and was willing that the 
work should be suspended, provided the Parish would pay 
the contractor " the expenses that have already accrued, 
and will fill the excavation at their expense, and on their 
own responsibility," and a committee was appointed " to 
make an arrangement to carry the same into effect." 

This proposition was not acceptable, and was protested 
against by the Vestry on the evening of the same day, and 
the Mayor was informed " that if the City authorities 
persist in constructing the proposed reservoir in front of 
the Church, it must be done upon the responsibility of 
the City, without the consent or approbation of this 
Parish." 

The Council, however, had voted, or did vote (for 
I suspect that both bodies were in session at the same 
time, and that there was a hurrying to and fro between 
them, to adjust details satisfactorily), " to increase the 
thickness of the walls of said Reservoir, and to make use 
of other materials at their discretion." And it was also

" voted that if the work should be abandoned that the city 
will pay the sum of fifty dollars toward the expenses that 
have already accrued." 

No more complaint was made, and the work was 
completed and remains to this day. It never was supplied 
with water from the roof of the Church, but from the 
building' on the north corner of Main and Church streets. 
The original cistern or well made in 1796 was on this 
corner, or near it, and the little contention about it has 
already been described. I do not know that the parish has 
ever had any other disputes with the public authorities, 
but it is a little singular that both of them should have 
been upon the subject of obtaining or preservation of 
water. 

As I often passed this work while the excavation was 

in progress, it was noticed how extensive was the 

caving in of its sides. This occurred mostly if not wholly 

in the night-time, and was often the subject of remark. 

The ground had evidently been filled in to the depth of 

several feet, which was a cause of insecurity and danger ; 

the parishioners were justly supicious. In all probability 

the roadway is now considerably above the original 

surface. When the sewer extending from the Cit}^ Hall 

to Pleasant street was built, great logs, many in number, 

were found far below the surface at the corner, opposite 

the head of Village street. The sewer was twelve feet in 

depth, and two and one-half feet in diameter. These logs 

were of pine and in a good state of preservation. They 

doubtless had been placed there sometime in the early 

history of the town, for the purpose of obtaining a firm 

foundation, at the bottom of one of the numerous ponds 

known to have existed in this neighborhood. The surface 

along this roadway to the north was by no means perfectly 

level or regular. In the immediate neighborhood, at the 

Tuttle corner, it was firm clay, while a few rods to the 

west it was pure sand. In this vicinity was Centincl Hill, 

from which, in early days, an unobstructed view could be 
21

had as far south as the South Green. From this hill large 
quantities of sand were taken by the early inhabitants, so 
large that its use was forbidden unless authorized. 
From this point northwest there must have been a grad- 
ual rise in the ground as far west certainly as the house 
occupied by the late Nathaniel Goodwin, who once told 
me that his house stood upon the highest ground in the 
then limits of the city, excepting Asylum Hill, Hartford 
originally was by no means located on level ground ; the 
hills have been made low, and the valleys have been filled 
up. Brick-kiln Hill has been erased, and the land south 
of it has been much elevated. That portion of Asylum 
street lying west of Ann street as far as Ford street 
(called within my remembrance Pleasant Valley), has 
been filled in as many as ten or twelve feet, probably, 
and some of the small houses upon the south side of it 
have been raised twice. 

In excavating for the above sewer, at the head of Village 
street the contractor found considerable obstruction from 
the logs, and some time was spent in endeavoring to cut 
them apart, but as it was difiicult to work in such a limited 
space it was given up. By depressing the bottom of the 
sewer a little, tJic logs zvere worked into the top of it, and no 
serious injury so far has been sustained. It may be some 
years before it caves in. I know that the bottom of the 
sewer was clean, and no water standing in it, a few years 
after its construction, about six rods or so west of the 
locality of the logs. 

Here is another instance in which the use of pegs has 
been found convenient.

Feb. Ji, V. Voted, Unanimously, that the thanks of the

Episcopal Chair presented by her to this Parish. 

Voted, Unanimously, that the thanks of the Vestry be pre- 
sented to Miss Hetty B. Hart, for the beautiful Baptismal 
Font presented by her for the use of this Church. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 323 

Voted, That while the Vestry would express their grateful 
sense of the generosity of the donors, they would also place 
upon record their devout trust that these offerings for the 
glory of God, and the endjowment of this vSanctuary, will 
always be regarded and employed in the same spirit of 
reverence for His service, and love for His Church, in which 
they doubt not they have been given. 

The Chair presented by Mrs. Hart, usually called the 
Bishop's CJtair, is the one now used by him, in the Chancel. 
The Baptismal Font, given by her daughter, was of white 
marble, and was in continued use until 1891. It was made 
in several pieces, which were movable ; as a consequence, 
the edges became more or less chipped, in changing it from 
one place to another, and it was finally placed in the 
present Chapel. The new Font, which is larger and a fine 
piece of workmanship, stands in the southwest corner of 
the Church, a portion of the gallery, and several of the 
pews having been removed. It has been ventured to call 
this place the Baptistery. The Font was presented to the 
parish by the children of the Sunday-school, in 1891, and 
cost five hundred and ten dollars. 

Among the very useful organizations within the parish 
should be mentioned the Ladies' Benevolent Society, which 
was organized in 1829. Its Constitution is submitted 
below, though it may have been changed in some particu- 
lars. The Society is still in active existence; and generally 
meets once in a fortnight, and is fruitful in good works. 
Occasionally a supper is served, and then the gentlemen 
are permitted to attend, and add their contributions to the 
general fund. These meetings are held in the Parish 
Room, are numerously attended, and are productive of 
much good ; the social element is added to that of industry; 
and to the work of helping the poor is added that the 
members of the parish become more acquainted with one 
another. 

For a long time the meetings of the Society were held 



324 CHRIST CHURCPI, HARTFORD. 

at the residences of the members, and a light refreshment 
was served. For fear of disturbing the work in which 
they were engaged, perhaps, no gentleman was expected 
to appear until 8 o'clock in the evening, when the young 
people felt a necessity for relief after their steady work, 
though some of their elders continued it for an hour longer. 
These social gatherings were extremely pleasant, and yet 
linger in the minds of the very few who are left. The 
rector was accustomed to call at this time also, and it was 
supposed that his presence did not seriously interfere 
with any conversation, though it might have diverted it, 
somewhat. 

Several other societies now exist, for teaching young 
girls to sew, and encouraging in them habits of industry, 
prudence, and good behavior ; nor are the boys neglected 
in the division of the parish work. There is plenty to do 
in helping the old, the infirm, and the needy, and this 
necessity is likely to be increased in the future. The 
changing character of our population, and the death and 
removal of many members of our Parish brings to those 
who remain a work far more extensive than was necessary 
some years since. It is not probable that we shall see 
again such an event as happened in Dr. Wheaton's time, 
when the alms were several hundred dollars in excess of 
the needs of the parish. 

Constitution of the Ladies Benevolent Society of Christ Churchy 
Hartford, Conn., Organized Nov. i8, 182^. 

The object of this Society is to furnish comfortable gar-

its power, young men intended for the Ministry. 

Relief is first afforded to those of our own denomination, and 
afterwards, should our funds permit, aid will be extended to 
others. 

Each member of this Institution shall pay one dollar 
annually, to be expended in the purchase of necessary 
materials.

They reported September 19th in favor of an iron sash 
involving an expense of several hundred dollars. The 
consideration of the report was referred to a special Parish 
meeting, and Mr. Denison Morgan was added to the com- 
mittee. 

Sept. 2i. The report was considered at a Parish meet- 
ing, and is printed in full, as follows : 

That on a thorough examination we find the lead part of 
the sash so light in its construction as to be insufficient to 
sustain the glass in its proper place, and incapable of resist- 
ing the action of the wind and frost upon it. That in at/ the 
windows, some part of the sash is thrown out of its original 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 327 

position, lights of the glass have fallen out, or are held by 
such frail fixtures as to be liable to drop oiit by any sudden 
movement of the sash, or to be blown out by the wind. 
That every movement of the sash tends to open the joints, 
many of which have become already quite large and appar- 
ent, and a close examination is only necessary to observe a 
free circulation of air through almost every sash in the 
Church. 

During several weeks enquiry your Committee have been 
unable to find anyone who could suggest any practical 
method of efficient and permanent repairs of the present 
lead sash, and however unwilling to incur, or to recommend 
any new burden or additional tax on the Parish, we believe 
there is no alternative, as we consider it indispensable for 
the comfort of the Congregation during the winter season, 
and for the preservation of the Church, that something of 
an efficient character should be done at an early day, and as 
the results of our inquiries, and as a matter of permanence 
and ultimate economy, we respectfully recommend the adop- 
tion and use of Iron sash, a sample of which is herewith pre- 
sented for your consideration. 

This sash weighs about 22 lbs., being a fraction more than 
i^ lbs. to the light, and can be furnished at 6^ cents pr. lb. 

The committee then made an estimate of the number 
of the lights of glass, of the v^eight of the sash, and of 
the expense of fitting the sash, and setting of the glass, 
amounting to $359.83. 

« 

Whereupon it was Voted, That the Parish do approve of 
the report, and that the Wardens and Vestry be impowered 
to carry the same into execution. 

On motion of Mr. J. M. Goodwin, Voted, That the War- 
dens and Vestry be a Committee to consider the subject of 
persons purchasing seats in the Church, and refusing to pay 
taxes, and to recommend to the Parish some plan that will 
secure an equitable adjustment of raising money to defray 
the expenses of the Parish. 

Sept. 28, V. In consequence of some miscalculations in the 



328 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

statement of the expense of providing- iron sash, and setting 
glass, as contained in the report of the Committee submitted 
to the Parish meeting held on the 25"' inst. it was Votcd^ That 
the subject of repairing the Windows of the Church, be 
referred back to the same Committee to report at a future 
Vestry meeting and that they also be requested to take into 
consideration the propriety of substituting cylinder or other 
stoves, in place of the Nott stoves now in use, — of altering 
the present position of any or all the stoves in the Church, 
and the subject of warming the Church generally. 

With the increasing- expenses of the Parish it was 
necessary that all proper and legal methods should be 
resorted to which would afford a sufficient income. The 
legal members of the Parish by no means corresponded 
with the number who annually purchased seats. There 
was a reluctance on the part of many to connect them- 
selves more closely with any ecclesiastical body, and so 
they escaped a just share of the burdens of the organiza- 
tion. Many of these were very respectable persons, and 
pecuniarily prosperous, but they wished for that kind of 
liberty which made them free ; free to come and free to 
go ; free to remain and enjoy ; and free not to contribute. 
It is possible in some cases that a church may be so en- 
dowed, or supported by the contributions of a very few, 
that a large part of the attendants pay no proper share of 
the expenses. In the much-abused system of freedom in 
this country, men often resort to presumptions and eva- 
sions which cannot be justified by any proper sense of 
morals, or of their duty to support public religious wor- 
ship, which is one of the safeguards of the State, 

Voted, That Mess. Imlay and Lee, be a committee to con- 
sider the subject of purchasing seats in the church and 
refusing to pay taxes, and report at a future Vestry meeting- 
some plan adapted to the case of persons so refusing, and 
tending to equalize the present system of taxation in the 
Parish.

A very characteristic letter from one of these half-way 
covenanters, more disposed to take than to give, is here- 
with submitted. He was abundantly able to contribute 
pecuniarily ; had, with his family, long attended at the 
church, and demanded and received as much attention and 
consideration as if he had been a legal member. His case 
is a fair illustration of not a few in most religious bodies, 
and, perhaps, in many others also outside of them, who 
are more controlled by their selfishness than by their 
sense of duty. 

Hartford, March 30, 1842. 
To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church. 

Gentlemen, As I have never united myself to the Parish 
of Christ Church, so as to become in a legal sense a taxable 
member thereof, it cannot be necessary for me to present to 
the Clerk of the Parish a Certificate of my not being a legal 
member of the same. I have just hired a Pew in your 
Church and another also in vSt. John's, which I take a pleas- 
ure in doing, and shall be happy, most probably, to continue 
to do. But I am not willing to go beyond this, and decline 
to be taxed in either. I entertain the highest esteem for our 
most excellent Clergyman, and a respect for the gentlemen 
Wardens and Vestry. 

With my best wishes for the success of both the Church 
Parishes in their praiseworthy efforts, and undertakings, 
I subscribe myself, Gentlemen^ 

Very respectfully Yours,

Mr. Chase. He was chosen as secretary of the ^tna Fire 
Insurance Company upon its organization in 18 19. The 
office was then located in the east room of the Exchange 
Coffee House on State street. This story is told of him.

that upon the arrival here of the news that the company 
had lost sixty thousand dollars by a fire in Mobile, he 
threw up his hands and rushed into the street, crying- out, 
" we are ruined." As only ten dollars a share had then been 
actually paid upon the stock, the news was not altogether 
comforting. As the company has since become one of the 
largest and strongest in the United States, the officers are 
enabled to take their losses with more quietness and resig- 
nation. His name first appears upon our records as a

The Committee also reported the following plan for the 
organization of an independent Parish. 

Whereas, at a public meeting composed of members of 
this Parish, recently held at the Chape], resolutions were 
adopted by a large majority of the persons then present, to 
the eiTect, that it was expedient to proceed immediately to

the proposed measure, and doth hereby declare and make 
known its assent thereto. 

Resolved also, That the use of the Chapel for the year en- 
suing, concurrently with this Parish, is freely granted to the 
Congregation which may assemble there for public worship 
either as an independent parish or under any preliminary 
arrangement that may be adopted. 

After a long discussion of the comparative merits of the 
two plans, as reported by the Committee ; the following res-

olutions were unanimously adopted, being the second plan 
proposed, with two amendments, viz. prefixing the word " and "

clatise of the first plan, the resolutions as finally passed, being 
as follows: 

Voted, That it has become necessary for the accommodation 
of the increased members of the Parish, that another Church 
should be erected. 

And IVkereas, at a public meeting composed of members 
of this Parish, recently held at the Chapel, resolutions were 
adopted by a large majority of the persons then present, to 
the effect that it was expedient to proceed immediately to the 
erection of a new Church, and the formation of a new Parish, 
and appointing a Committee for that purpose. 

Therefore Resolved, that this Parish is ready to assent to 
the proposed measure, and doth hereby declare and make 
known its assent thereto. 

Resolved also that the use of the Chapel for the year 
ensuing, concurrently with this Parish, is freely granted to 
the Congregation which may assemble there for public wor- 
ship, either as an independent Parish, or under any prelimi- 
nary arrangement that may be adopted. 

The following resolution offered by the Rector, Rev. 
George Burgess, was unanimously passed. Resolved, That at 
the commencement of this undertaking, this Parish desire to 
place upon record, the expression of their cordial approbation 
of the same; their hearty wishes, and earnest prayers, for its 
full success and prosperity, and their desire and determination 
under the blessing of God, that the unity of purpose, and the 
harmony of feeling in which they have hitherto acted 
together, shall never be broken. 

The measure was supported by the Rector, Mr. Bur- 
gess, greatly to the surprise of some of the older parish- 
ioners, who thought that the parish would be crippled by 
its success, and so no further action was taken for a time ; 
but the consideration of it only slumbered, and was 
finally carried, and St. John's parish was established. 



334 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

In truth, the movement had in it the elements of 
success, and was sure to succeed in the end. The fear 
which existed, that Christ Church could not successfully 
be carried on, was groundless. The exodus of valuable 
and influential members, while it was eminently proper 
in itself, and really necessary, was an incitement to 
greater exertions on the part of those who remained. 
Like too many in such cases, they hardly estimated their 
own capabilities. 

The time had come when it was necessary that the 
hive should swarm. The church was filled, on the floor 
and in the galleries ; there were no accommodations for new 
comers, and no possibility of increasing them. Never 
before, and never since, have the seats been so fully and 
continuously occupied by worshippers, brought there by 
a sense of religious duty. Sunday after Sunday they 
attended with their families, and from the chancel to the 
eastern doors there was a crowd of men, women, and 
children. The necessities which kept some of them at 
home in the morning did not prevent their attendance in 
the afternoon. 

Let us look at the picture in the time of Mr. Burgess. 

The church was warmed by two large stoves, placed 
under the organ gallery ; the long, black pipes extended 
its whole length and entered the flues in the northwest 
and southwest corners ; to catch the drippings which 
would occasionally occur, long pans of tin were hung 
under the pipes, which were held in place by brackets 
fixed to the pillars. At the best the heat was not very 
great. Mr. Buck, the warden, looked anxiously at the 
thermometer near his seat ; if it stood at 50" he was un- 
easy, if it stood at 60° he was happy, and the congrega- 
tion was thankful. Alexander Houston, the sexton, had 
crowded the stoves as far as was prudent ; some might 
have complained of cold then, just as those do now, who 
wish for the heat of a parlor, although covered with 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 335 

heavy winter clothing ; there was, however, no occasion for 
the use of fans until summer. 

Whatever notices there were, were carried to the 
rector by the sexton, softly stepping in his slippers after 
service had commenced ; those for intended marriages 
were presented in the afternoon, usually, when the parties 
bashfully remained away. Sometimes, however, one 
might stray into a neighboring meeting house, but the 
strong churchman solaced himself at home. The public 
notices, that is of matters occurring outside of the parish, 
were not frequent ; the newspapers were still printed. 
But requests for persons, who were sick, or in affliction, 
or who returned thanks for recovery from sickness, were 
more common than now. As there was much less of 
traveling than at present, a request from a person about 
going to sea excited a general curiosity as to who he 
might be, and where he was going. The newspapers of 
the day had not always published one's movements 
beforehand. 

The public baptism of infants or adults was generally 
in the afternoon, after the second lesson as prescribed. 
Perhaps the announcement " Let the candidate for baptism 
now be presented " caused a sigh from some on account of 
the lengthened service, but, if so, they were not genuine 
churchmen, who believed in a public service and upon a 
Sunday. It was a terrible trial to the sensitive mothers, 
however, who feared the crying of their babies, and the 
smiles or irreverence of some ill-mannered people. 

While the second hymn was being sung, the minister 
retired to the vestry room, laid aside the surplice which 
he had previously worn, and, clothed with the scholastic 
black gown of silk, and with his bands, entered the pulpit. 
After a short collect he commenced his sermon, and 
secured the attention of all ; the simplicity, the earnest- 
ness, the directness of his preaching showed how highly 
he regarded his obligations, and how much he valued the

presentation of the Word of God. If contributions were 
taken, they were collected by the faithful officers in 
small boxes of wood, and deposited within the chancel 
rail upon the floor. The music, under the direction of 
Mr. Babcock, was good, if not always satisfactory ; more 
from a lacking of proper discipline in the choir than 
from an absence of skill. The congregation ventured to 
join in the singing to a considerable extent, and en- 
joyed their own participation in it, even if they did not 
keep in perfect time or tune. Good Mr. Tudor was a 
skilled musician, and fretted somewhat at the mistakes 
which were made. Mr. Imlay immediately behind him, 
standing as erect as a staff, endeavored to perform his 
part of the worship. With his book held high before 
him, he was neither abashed nor silenced, when Mr. 
Tudor turned squarely around, and intimated by his ap- 
pearance that his nerves were irritated by unmusical 
sounds. " He does not know a single note," he once said 
to me, "and he is always behind." We are not all of 
us perfect either in reading or in singing, and an en- 
forcement of strictly correct rules might produce a thin 
congregation. The responses were fairly made ; a few 
persons had the reputation of possessing a strong voice ; 
the energy which was spent in one direction kept them 
lagging a few words behind. 

All the church bells in the city were rung much 
oftener and longer than at present. I must confess to a 
liking of these musical sounds, though some of them were 
harsh. The small one on the top of the uncompleted 
tower, fully exposed to view, was good enough for its 
size, but gave way to a larger one when the tower was 
completed. The tones of this were extremely sweet and 
pleasant, but in a few years it became broken, and its 
equal has never been found in the city. The custom was 
to ring the bell at nine o'clock for the Sunday-school — 
then what was called " the first bell " — at half-past nine,

a signal for persons '• to get ready," and then at half-past 
ten for assembling in the church. Whatever of goodness 
there was in a bell was brought out by Alexander Hous- 
ton. In the small area in which was located the Metho- 
dist Church on Trumbull Street, the Second Cono^regra- 
tional or North, on the corner of Main and Moro-an, 
Christ Church, the Fourth Congregational just below 
(now the Melodeon), and the Baptist, nearly opposite, 
these made noise enough to waken all the sleepers in the 
district. The different bells down the street followed 
with their contributions, and no one could be able to say 
that he had not been loudly called to public worship. 
But there came a time when all this was thought to be 
disagreeable and unnecessary, and the " church-going 
bell " is kept comparatively quiet. Our vestry, some 
years since, thought the bell was unnecessarily used, 
especially on week-days, and directed that the practice 
should be diminished ; but were brought to terms by the 
rector, as interfering with his prerogatives, as it did. 

The Wednesday evening service in the chapel was 
usually well attended, and by men, too, who at that time, 
and probably a long time before, and for a period after- 
wards, were sure to be present in much larger numbers 
than now. Borrowing something from the religious 
bodies around us, it was frequently called a Lecture. 
The full service for the evening was used, and there was 
an extempore address by Mr. Burgess, wh6 spoke fluently 
enough, and in an interesting manner. There was, I 
think, more attention paid to the historical subjects of 
the Bible, especially those of the Old Testament, than at 
present. The extensive information of the rector and 
his good judgment did not fail to attract the attention of 
all. There was no resort to any clap-trap, or great ex- 
citements, or schemes of amusement to bring our people 
together. They followed with willingness the course 
which the Church had prescribed, and left to outside 
22 



338 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

efforts the numerous schemes which are now often con- 
sidered so important in the business of religious socie- 
ties. As far as can be discovered, there was as high a 
sense of the duty of public worship and of our Christian 
obligations as at present. There was no kitchen con- 
nected with the Church or Chapel. 

It was, I think, more customary then for the clergy to 
exchange with one another, to the satisfaction of all the 
persons concerned ; nor would the parishioners, enquir- 
ing of the sexton as to the preacher, turn away from the 
doors if not satisfied; the bond of union held them 
firmly together. When there was but one Episcopal 
parish in the city, we frequently had as a preacher some 
one from outside, or from one of the professors of the 
College. It was not unusual that Bishop Brownell 
preached himself ; his dignity and plain manner of 
address added to the impressiveness of his words. All 
these instances were of help to the rector, who, however, 
never spared himself, and generally held a third service 
in the evening. Mr. Burgess was so ready a writer that 
his sermons were prepared with ease, and it was said that 
he generally had twenty or more ready in advance. He 
was very methodical in his arrangements, and never 
seemed to be in a hurry ; except in cases of emergency 
he rarely left his study in the morning, but in the after- 
noon he could be seen coming up Morgan vStreet, to 
attend upon any calls or matters of business. He resided 
with Mrs. Nathan Morgan during his residence in Hart- 
ford, until his marriage with Miss Sophia Kip. Mrs. 
Morgan entrusted him with the marketing, which he 
attended to early in the day. He did not hesitate to 
attend such meetings of the town as fairly fell within his 
province, and was a strong advocate for the establishment 
of the Public High School, which met with considerable 
opposition. While he held a most catholic spirit to the 
views of others, and had a quiet way of answering the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 339 

statements or objections made to him, yet he entertained 
his own opinions, and did not hesitate to express them if 
the occasion warranted it. To a lady who had heard 
some hard things spoken in the North Church by Dr. 
Bushnell he merely said : " Why, he was in his own 
pulpit, wasn't he ? " 

He was a good churchman, believed in the Episcopal 
Church, and labored for it. He did not consider it 
necessary that he should spend a large part of his time 
in defending it, nor, perhaps, in explaining it. The 
Oxford Tracts were about making their appearance dur- 
ing his residence here, and were the subjects of much 
comment in the Episcopal Church. There were pri- 
vate discussions extending long into the night, in 
which he joined, in which his knowledge of Church 
history and religious views and practices made him a 
strong combatant. The " Strife of Brothers " gives us 
some light on this matter, and brings out strongly the 
catholic spirit which pervaded him. Though the town 
was then filled with cries of " the Church, the Church," 
by the voices of some over-zealous members of the 
parishes, yet the most friendly relations continued to 
exist between the rectors. Perhaps the zeal of Rev. Mr. 
Coxe was needed to infuse into our lives a more thorough 
knowledge of the blessings we enjoyed. Neither then 
nor for a long tiine afterwards did we truJy understand 
the extent of the divided opinions and practices which 
would come to our Church. 

The number of communicants was large, and was 
greatly increased during the rectorship of Mr. Burgess. 
He was very generally aided in the administration of the 
Communion by one of the clerical Professors in the Col- 
lege, or by some clergyman temporarily in town. On 
Christmas day the number was largely increased by per- 
sons residing in the neighboring towns and by others who 
seldom partook. Dr. Thomas Robbins, a learned Congre- 



340 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

gational clergyman, and the Librarian of the Connecti- 
cut Historical Society, was an occasional attendant on 
these occasions, and was very noticable from his vener- 
able fiofure, and the reverence with which he received 
the sacred emblems. It was more noticeable because 
he partook while standing at the chancel rail, and not 
in the posture which is prescribed. What explanations 
Mr. Burgess may have made, I do not know about, for 
I never asked him for any. It is possible that as Mr. 
Robbins was advanced in life, and somewhat infirm, "the 
pregnant hinges of the knees " were not easily brought 
into the position of kneeling. But the stiffness may have 
been of another kind, taking its origin in the upper part 
of the body. There is reason to believe, however, that 
Dr. Robbins had no special hostility to the Episcopal 
Church, and that he was more free from illiberality than 
some may have imagined. When he was a minister at 
East Windsor, he was on friendly terms with Dr. Elihu 
Tudor, as truly he ought to have been being a relative 
and near neighbor, and joined with him in his Christmas 
dinner, partaking possibly of the plum pudding and 
minced pie, considered so essential on this occasion. He 
may have conceived a more favorable opinion of the Epis- 
copal Church than some of his brethren, from his conver- 
sations with Dr. Tudor and witnessing his daily life ; but 
I doubt if he ever forgot or forgave his loyalist attach- 
ments during the Revolution, or the pension which he re- 
ceived to the end of his life from the British government. 
Services were always held on Christmas Eve, and were 
largely attended, especially by young people not connected 
with the parish, both in the city and in the country. It 
was one of the observances which were pleasing to all, 
and the behavior was generally decorous. For a number' 
of days previously much labor .had been bestowed on 
" dressing the church " with evergreens, which was mostly 
the work of young men and women, under the direction

of a staid committee appointed by the Vestry. For 
some time after the present church was built, great care 
was taken that it should be in no way damaged. The 
thoughtlessness and carelessness of some persons is so 
great that they need constant watching. In the old build- 
ing, I have been told, that it was customary to drive nails 
in the pillars, or elsewhere, on which to hang the decora- 
tions. But no such license was to be allowed in the new 
one, and the placing of a tack so that no disfigurement 
should be made was the subject of consultation. There 
was no attempt at the decoration of any other church 
building in the city, nor any observance of Christmas day 
as a holy-day. Except with Episcopalians, there had been 
for years a carrying on of business as usual ; workmen 
followed their usual vocations, and merchants opened 
their stores ; there was nothing to distinguish it from an 
ordinary day. Perhaps this was more strictly true of the 
earlier part of the century, yet even about this time one 
might pass down Main Street and find few places of busi- 
ness closed, save those of S. Tuttle & Sons, Samuel Tudor, 
Lydia Royce, who kept a ladies' warehouse opposite the 
church, Charles Sigourney, James M. Goodwin, H. B. 
Chaffee & Co., Ward, Bartholomew & Brainard, John But- 
ler, Asahel Saunders & Son, and perhaps a few others. 
But the custom has greatly changed ; churches are now 
generally decorated, and religious services are held ; few 
are the places in which some reference is not made to 
the Holy-day. " 

At this time there was no curbing of the streets, the 
gutters were broad and deep, laid with cobble stones. 
Hitching-posts were common and very useful, especially 
to persons coming to the city ; every householder felt it 
his duty to set a number of them before his residence, or 
place of business ; the merchant who neglected this was 
not considered as anxious to suit his customers. At a few 
places there still remained a long wooden trough in which

the customer from the country could bait his horse with 
oats brought from his home. It was economical, and 
saved a shilling at the tavern ; the careful husbandman 
was mindful in many ways about his expenses, and spent 
as little as possible ; he had learned from his father, 
or from the annual almanac, that " a penny saved is a 
penny earned ; " the scarcity of money rendered neces- 
sary a close watch of the purse. 

On Sunday those living in the suburbs generally came 
to church in their own wagons, and the horses were se- 
cured to the convenient posts standing all along Main 
street ; if it was in summer time the clanging of the iron- 
shod beasts resounded through the neighborhood drown- 
ing all other sounds. The clatter was so great that it 
would never be tolerated at the present time. In the 
evening men left their horses in safety, with no fear of 
their being stolen, or of losing their whips or blankets. 

Christ Church was lighted at that time with sperm 
oil ; there hung, suspended by long chains from the top 
of the nave, over the center aisle, three large chandeliers ; 
there were smaller ones in the galleries, and under them, 
and the church was considered to be sufficiently well 
lighted. Improvement in this matter was considered as 
impossible, and not needed. But when illuminating gas 
was introduced in the city, there began to be complaints 
of inability to see clearly, and so the gas was employed. 
This was brilliant enough for a time, but was supple- 
mented by the electric light a few years since. Between 
them both we are tolerably well served on most occasions, 
and have not been obliged to resort to sperm candles, 
which Mr. Sigourney was requested by the Vestry to 
provide, many years before. 

A hivStory of the Church would be incomplete without 
a reference to the school kept by Miss Abby Canfield, for 
young children, in the rear of the Chapel. This was in a 
small building of one story, and was perhaps originally a 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 343 

blacksmith's shop, which was thought to be dangerous to 
the church property. Miss Canfield was a most estimable 
Church woman, greatly beloved both by parents and pu- 
pils. Few children of the parish there were who did not 
pass under her kind and gentle hand, and there receive 
their first instruction. Even now there are some livinsf 
who delight to speak of their experiences in this little 
building, and of her pleasant ways. She was a constant 
and sincere attendant upon the services of the church, and 
regarded with no favor any attempt to change established 
forms and usages. Her good soul has been saved a great 
amount of worrying by taking its departure before the 
present time. She had that accommodating disposition 
which led her on Saturdays to hear her Episcopal pupils 
recite the Catechism as found in the Book of Common 
Prayer, while she afterwards attended to those of other de- 
nominations, in the Catechism of the Congregational Di- 
vines. She had taught previously and for some time in a 
building on State street, just east of the Hartford hotel. 
Few instructors for little children have followed this vo- 
cation for so long a period, or been more highly esteemed, 
her life extending for over eighty years, and teaching 
nearly to the last. 

There is little to be added to the history of the Sunday- 
schooi which has been given by' Mr. Hoadly. It has been 
faithfully conducted, and is believed to have been instru- 
mental in accomplishing much good. In former years 
the children more strictly belonged to the parents who at- 
tended the services of the church than at present, and 
there were few who did not avail themselves of this 
method of instruction. In turn they became teachers, 
and thus kept up their connection with the school. The 
custom of religious instruction at home gradually gave 
way to the instruction of Sunday-schools, and parents be- 
gan to feel relieved from some of the obligations which 
were due to their children. Undoubtedly the Sunday- 



344 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

school reaches some who receive no other religious teach- 
ing, and would receive no other if this was abandoned. 
The parish church sees too many of them only on this 
occasion, or when there is a celebration, or an excursion ; 
but we may be thankful if they can be reached at any 
time, for some will remember, perhaps for many years 
afterwards, the efforts which have been made for their 
improvement. 

April 12, P. Voted, That the Rector of this Parish is 
hereby empowered to employ during the course of the ensu- 
ing year, such clerical assistance as in his opinion may be 
desirable, at the expense of this Parish. 

May 27, V. Voted, That Mr. C. Nichols, and Mr. D. 
Morgan, be a Committee to treat with the Parish of vSt. John's

customary taxes, and report to a future meeting. 

Voted, That this Parish will not assent to the request of 
M^ Walter Phelps, asking leave to transfer his subscription

John's Church. 

James M. Goodivin was born in Hartford, August 24, 
1785. His name first appears upon the records in 1 812, as 
a tax-payer upon the rates of the previous year. He was 
a member of the Vestry from 1814 to 1829 with three 
exceptions. Junior Warden 1837, and Senior Warden 1829, 
and 1838. He was a merchant for many years, his place 
of business being on Exchange corner. He was also 
secretary of the ^tna Fire Insurance Company, succeed- 
ing Mr. Perkins, and was also secretary of the Protection 
Fire Insurance Company for a time. He was always an 
active member of the Parish, a decided Churchman, and 
usually very positive in any views which he entertained. 
" Plain spoken " has been used as applicable to him ; 
though this was from no ill nature, yet it was sometimes 
not well understood. Mr. Burgess occasionally, in the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 345 

earnestness of his discourse, rattled the kneeling stool in 
the pulpit, so that the noise could be heard all over the 
church. " Why do you kick that stool so much," said he 
one day, very bluntly. Poor Mr. Burgess hardly knew 
what was meant, but wisely took no notice of the inquiry ; 
the temper was not malicious, but was the natural outcome 
of a dominant spirit, which without reflection, relieved it- 
self with direct and plain-spoken words. 

He was an exceedingly useful man, admirably fitted for 
certain duties, which would be executed with promptness 
and efficiency. He was often appointed upon committees 
and was frequently one of the delegates to the Diocesan 
Convention. He was the first Superintendent of the Sun- 
day-school, and occupied that position for many years ; 
the Vestry presented to him their " thanks for his inde- 
fatigable exertions in directing the School." He was 
also interested in the affairs of the city, and was Chief of 
the Fire Department. A new fire engine having been 
purchased, it was displayed on the sidewalk, in front of 
his store. Mr. John Morgan was Street Inspector, and 
saw the obstruction to public travel. " Take it off," he said, 
" Take it off," and would not be quieted. A bystander, 
noticing the disturbance, suggested to Mr. Goodwin that 
he should invite Mr. Morgan into his store, and offer him 
a glass of wine. Mr. Morgan was perfectly willing to 
accept of the hospitality, and as he came out, said, " now 
take it off the walk ; put it into the street," and it went 
into the street. 

Mr. Goodwin was one of those who left Christ Church to 
organize the Parish of St. John's. He died March 30, 1870. 

Dec. 16, V. looted, That Messrs. Nichols, Beach, and Ripley, 
be a committee to take into consideration the subject of tax- 
ation as now existing in the Parish, and report on the same 
at the next parish meeting.

1842. 

Ja?i. II. An application in behalf of Mr. Braham having 
been made, for the use of the Church for a concert of sacred 
music, was withdrawn, 

April 2. Voted, That the Rector and Wardens be author- 
ized to give to St. John's Parish, such use of the Chapel 
during the present year, as they may think proper. 

The large indebtedness of the Parish doubtless 
appeared as a serious burden, when so many of its former 
members left to establish the Parish of St. John's. 
Though consent had been given, and a reasonableness for 
it had been shown, yet still there was considerable sore- 
ness remaining, which was natural enough when the 
matter of the debt was considered, and which in truth too 
often attends such emigrations. This had taken away a 
large number of its wealthy and efficient members, mostly 
young and enterprising, some of whom perhaps wished 
another field for developing their churchly instincts, or 
special views. The desire for leaving, and the desire for 
retaining, were illustrations again of what frequently 
occurs in different religious bodies, and was shown pre- 
eminently when Thomas Hooker and his associates desired 
to remove from Newtown to Hartford. The honorable 
course of Mr. Burgess carried the Parish with him, and 
quieted, if it did not convince, all members. There is 
no reason, however, to believe that any very serious objec- 
tion existed, except the fear of the inability of the Parish 
to maintain its former position. It would seem as if they 
had been left in a dazed condition, resembling somewhat 
that which has fallen upon an individual after serious 
injury, or upon a family suffering from severe affliction. 

Nevertheless, it was a necessary and judicious move- 
ment, which came to be justified soon afterwards, and 
sanctioned by approval, as such matters generally are in 
the end ; for time happily cures disappointments, and 
lessens the force of arguments which were considered to 
be invincible. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 347 

Then there came into the minds of the members 
a consciousness of their strength, and a desire to accommo- 
date themselves to their new position. They felt the 
pressure of their indebtedness and began forthwith to 
consider it. A prudent course for a state, or parish, or 
an individual, yea, a righteous course also, is to reduce 
expenses, when unable to meet them by receipts. 

ABOUT ST. JOHN'S PARISH. 

It may be well to insert here the following extracts 
from the records of St. John's Parish, which I have been 
kindly permitted to copy. It belongs in part to the his- 
tory of the Episcopal Church in Hartford, and in part to 
Christ Church in particular. The permission to use the 
Chapel for public worship was not accepted by the mem- 
bers of St. John's, as far as known, but they did occupy it 
for several parish meetings ; the Vestry meetings appear 
to have been held at the residences of its members. It is 
supposed that they continued to worship in the mother 
Church until their own was completed in 1842, 
[From the Records of St. John's Parish. 

Whereas, the Divine Head of the Church in his gracious 
Providence, has so greatly prospered the Parish of Christ 
Church in the City of Hartford, that its house of Worship is 
insufficient to accommodate all who would desire to unite in 
its Holy Offices — and Whereas, it is believed that the cause 
of true religion would be promoted by the establishment of 
another Parish in said City, in union with the Protestant 
Episcopal Church. 

Now, therefore, be it known that we, whose names are 
hereunto subscribed, do hereby unite and associate ourselves, 
as a Parish, or body corporate, by the name of 

St. John's Church, Hartford, 

and do hereby adopt the Constitution and Canons of the Pro-

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 35 I 

Though four at least, and perhaps more, of those who 
connected themselves with this movement in forming a 
new parish, returned to Christ Church in a short time, 
there is no reason to believe that any very serious cause 
existed except a strong attachment to the old place and 
the old associations. It is only true, however, to say that 
a somewhat advanced Churchmanship was developed in 
St. John's, under the active and able administration of 
Mr. Coxe, which led to more or less comment and expres- 
sions of surprise. But there was only a friendly differ- 
ence of opinion, and no more firm defender of the 
Protestant Episcopal Church has been found than the 
Bishop of Western New York. It often takes a little 
time to get things fairly settled in the minds of the best 
of us. 

1843. 

April 17, P. Voted, That Wm. H. Imlay, Cyprian Nichols, 
Ebenezer Flower, Samuel Tudor, and Denison Morgan, com- 
pose a committee, with discretionary power to reduce the ex- 
penses of this Parish, and that this committee report thereon 
at an adjourned meeting to be holden at the Chapel, on 
Monday the ist of May, at 7 o'clock, p. m. 

April 22. V. Voted, That Denison Morgan be added to 
the Committee to treat with the heirs of Leonard Bacon con- 
cerning the boundary lines of the land on which the Church 
stands abutting the estate of said Bacon. 

The record of May ist, is as follows : — 

The report of the committee on retrenchment having 
been read, after much discUvSsion, it was 

Voted, That one thousand dollars be raised by the Parish 
annually, for four years to come, by a subscription in each 
successive year, to be applied towards the extinction of the 
parish debt. 

The force of this vote, however, is somewhat dimin- 
ished by the one which followed, directing the Wardens 



352 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

and Vestry " to reduce the expenses of the parish for the 
ensuing year, to the extent of tzvo hundred dollars " ; but it 
was a beginning. 

The two following votes are quoted, as showing the 
struggle of the Parish to avoid an increase of its indebted- 
ness. 

May ij, V. Voted, That two subscriptions be prepared on 
opposite pages of the same book, and for the purpose of 
raising the sum of one thousand dollars in the present year ; 
and not to be collected unless that sum be subscribed. The 
other for the purpose of raising the sum of Five thousand 
dollars, either at once or in four annual payments, at the 
choice of each subscriber ; only one of these subscriptions 
being liable to be collected. 

V. July J. The subject of cleaning the organ having 
been discussed, it was 

Voted, That the business be left with the vSenior Warden, 
with the understanding that if the organ is cleaned it must 
be done free of expense to the Parish. 

1844. 

Apn7 8. P. The Treasurer having stated that he had 
received from Saml. H. Huntington, Executor of the last 
will of Mrs. Emily PhilHps, formerly a communicant of this 
Parish, the sum of one hundred dollars in full of a legacy 
bequeathed by her to be expended in the purchase of Com- 
munion Plate, it was Voted, That the Parish hold in grateful 
recollection the pious liberality and affectionate regard for 
its parochial Altar, to which they are indebted, for this token 
of dying remembrance. 

Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be authorized to 
superintend the expenditure of the said sum, in accordance 
with the provisions of the Legacy. 

The discussions during the year concerning the debt 
of the parish were frequent, and various propositions were 
considered, but nothing decisive was accomplished. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 



353 



1845. 

April 14, P. Voted, That the Parish, regarding with great 
satisfaction the success which has attended the circulation of 
the subscription prepared by the Vestry for paying fifteen 
thousand dollars of the debt of the Parish, recommend to the 
committee to prosecute their efforts to the desired issue, and 
express the earnest hope that those members of the Parish 
who have not yet subscribed will not suffer this work to be 
done without their aid. 



Subscription to reduce the debt. 
Whereas, it is proposed to reduce the debt of the Parish of 
Christ Church, Hartford, Fifteen Thousand Dollars, by a 
subscription for that purpose, we the undersigned, each for 
himself, in consideration that others subscribe for that object 
and on condition that the said suin be raised, do hereby 
promise to pay to said Parish, the sums annexed to our names 
respectively, in three yearly equal payments to be made on 
the ist day of July 1845, 1846, and 1847 (the interest may be 
deducted if the payment be anticipated). And the said Parish 
shall receive the sums aforesaid, and apply the same to ex- 
tinguish so much of the principal of said debt, as shall be 
paid on the subscription, unless a tax be laid by said Parish 
for the same object, before the last of said installments shall 
become payable ; in which case it shall be the right of each 
subscriber to apply the amount of his subscription to any 
such tax against him, or so much thereof as shall be necessary 
to cancel such tax ; and the balance remaining shall be paid 
into the treasury of the Parish, for the object aforesaid. 
Dated at Hartford, this 17th day of March, 1845.

The subject of obtaining- a passageway from the mu- 
tual gangway upon the lot in the rear of the Chapel hav- 
ing been discussed, it was, 

Nov. 22, V. Voted, That the Wardens be empowered to 
negotiate with the heirs of the estate of Leonard Bacon, for 
a passway from the mutual gangway upon the lot rear of the 
Chapel, for fifty years, and if possible for nine hundred 
ninety-nine years. 

The matter of warming the church sufficiently had 
always been a serious trouble ; various patterns of stoves 
had been tried, but none of them were satisfactory. After 
iron sash had been placed in the windows, and the glass 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 355 

had been reset, and were made " as tight as paint and 
putty " could make them, as observed by Mr. Ripley, it 
was hoped that the result would be more satisfactory. Still 
there was disappointment. There were various meetings 
in the autumn of 1843, foi" the purpose of considering 
other plans. On the 28th of October it was 

F. Voted, That furnaces be procured for warming the 
Church, provided the sum of three hundred dollars be raised 
by subscription, and that Mess. Taintor, Eldredge, Beach, and 
Huntington, be a committee to raise the said sum, and to put 
up the furnaces. 

The committee reported that the sum of three hundred 
dollars could not be raised for the purcha.se of the furnaces. 

It is probable that the furnaces were not obtained, for 
the subject was recurred to Sept. 25, 1845, when it was 

Sept. 2j, v. J'oied, That George Beach be, and he is 
hereby, appointed a committee to examine the subject of 
warming the Church the ensuing winter, and report thereon 
to the Vestry. 

Mr. Beach reported and the following was passed : 

A^ov. II. Whereas, Gurdon Fox having proposed to put 
up two furnaces, and to displace them without charge, if 
they do not answer the purpose of the Parish, it was 

V. Voted, That Mess. George Beach, and Dudley Buck, 
Wardens, and Samuel Tudor, Vestryman, be and they are 
hereby appointed a committee to direct that the furnaces be 
put up ; to dispose of the old stoves and pipe, to put up five 
baise covered doors, and to oversee the same. 

The only other reference to this matter is the vote of 
the Vestry, May 2, 1846, when an inquiry was ordered, to 
ascertain " whether the contract in relation to the furnaces 
has been complied with." As no further record is found 
it is fair to conclude that the contract was complied with, 
and that the Church was made comfortable for the wor- 
shipers ; but according to my recollection there was still 
some grumbling, for when was there ever a temperature

found which was not either too hot or too cold for some. 
The subject had been a fruitful one for discussion, but the 
Parish had a far more important one under consideration, 
in 1845 ; this was a subscription of fifteen thousand dollars 
towards reducing the debt. For further particulars the 
reader is referred to the Report of tJic Committee on the 
Funds of the Parish, pp. 38, 39. 

Dec. ij, V. Whereas, it having been stated that a prop- 
osition had been made for holding the weekly Lectures to 
the several Congregations of the city on the same evening, 
it was 

Voted, That if such an arrangement should be agreed upon, 
it is the opinion of the Vestry that it is desirable that the 
Rector shall concur in such an arrangement. 

1846. 

June 2j. The strong light from the south windows of 
the Church was considered objectionable, and a committee 
was appointed to procure curtains for the same, but this 
was afterwards changed to blinds for the whole church. 

Dec. 14, V. looted, That D^ Beresford be allowed to 
make use of the west wall of the Chapel, for adjoining a 
small building, at a valuation by the Wardens. 

1847. 

April 2-j, P. Whereas the Rev. George Burgess com- 
menced the duties of Rector of this Parish in November, 
1834, at a salary of one thousand dollars per annum, which 
continued at that rate until the fifth day of April, 1837, at 
which time the Parish voluntarily increased his salary to 
twelve hundred dollars per annum, and he has been paid at 
that rate until the first day of the present month, and 
Whereas the Rev. George Burgess has recently made 
arrangements that will of course increase his annual 
expenditures, it is 

Resolved, That the sum of three hundred dollars be paid to 
the Rev. George Burgess for the year commencing on the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 357 

first day of April aforesaid, in addition to the regular salary 
hitherto paid to him in quarterly year payments. 

The clerk adds, that " after much discussion of the 
pecuniary ability of the Parish to make a change for the 
present year, conducted with unanimous regard for the 
interests and feelings of the Rector, who was understood 
to be unacquainted with the proposition, it was 

Voted, That the subject be indefinitely postponed." 

Mr. Burgess had been recently married, and the pro- 
posed increase of his salary was due to him, and not 
beyond the ability of the Parish to pay. There was a very 
generous feeling of the people toward him, and it was not 
easy to see at the time why the proposition failed, nor is 
it any plainer now. A battle is not un frequently lost 
from inconsiderateness or self-confidence, for which there 
is no excuse. Of one point, however, it may be decidedly 
spoken, that the failure was not due to any want of love 
or respect for him, nor from any desire that he should 
leave the Parish. He was not one of that number who 
have felt a "gentle pressure," which has been irresistible. 

Oct. 16, V. It was known that the Rector had been 
chosen as the Bishop of the Diocese of Maine, and a com- 
mimication was made by him to the Vestry, resigning his 
Rectorship. A Parish meeting was called, and it was 

Voted, That Isaac Toucey, George Sumner, J. vS. Morgan, 
and Dudley Buck, be appointed a committee to prepare the 
business to be brought before the appointed Parish meeting, 
on the 2ist inst. 

Resignation of Mr. Burgess. 

Oct. 21, P. To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ 
Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen, The informal interview between us a few 
weeks since together with the intelligence which has become 
public, will have prepared you for the communication which 
I am now, with a shrinking heart, compelled to present. 



358 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Having been elected with entire and cordial unanimity, 
to the office of Bishop of our Church in the Diocese of 
Maine, I have seen, after much meditation, and very 
anxious prayers, which preceded the event itself, no sufficient 
reason for refusing the nomination. The necessary testi- 
monials have even passed through both houses of the General 
Convention, and received the usual consent. It is with the 
sacrifice of the strongest feelings, which can attach a pastor 
to a delightful abode, and to the dearest friends, that I have 
come to this result. Had I felt myself at liberty to follow 
merely my own wishes, this election would never have been 
consummated. My ministry in the parish of Christ Church, 
a ministry of thirteen years, has been one of so much happi- 
ness, on my part, and of so much harmony and .such uninter- 
rupted kindness on yours, and has been attended with so 
many tokens of the favour and blessings of God, that I can- 
not close without emotions more deep and tender, than in 
such a communication as this it might seem appropriate to 
express. 

I came amongst you young and a stranger ; I have passed 
amongst you the flower of my life, and every house has become 
to me a kind of home. So happy in all social and pastoral 
relations I cannot hope to be again. 

The sphere to which I go, is one in which the Church, 
during my lifetime, will probably furnish no post like that 
which I relinquish. 

But I know that you will appreciate the only motives 
which can impel me ; and I trust that you will dismiss me 
with the same acquiescence which I feel in what seems to me 
the will of our Lord and Saviour. 

I therefore present herewith my resignation of the Rec- 
torship of Christ Church, to which the Bishop has consented 
by consenting to my Consecration. This resignation I desire 
to take effect from the consecration itself, which, will doubt- 
less be fixed for some day within a fortnight. 

May you, my respected and beloved friends, be guided by 
heavenly wisdom, in the administration of all the aft'airs of 
a parish for which I shall always pray with a peculiar 
fervency, as my first and most peaceful charge. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 359 

May the good providence of God bring to you a wiser and 

more faithful pastor, and may the Holy Spirit pour upon 

you, and those for whom you act, such dews of his grace, 

that this congregation may flourish more and more in all 

spiritual blessings, as a garden which the Lord has planted. 

I am, and shall ever remain 

Most truly and effectually, 

Your friend and servant in Christ, 

George Burgess. 
New York, October 15th, 1847. 

After reading the foregoing communication, Hon, Isaac 
Toucey presented the following preamble and resolutions, 
which were passed unanimously : 

Whereas, The Rev** George Burgess, D.D., having been 
elected Bishop of the Diocese of Maine, and having there- 
upon tendered his resignation of the Rectorship of this 
Parish, to take effect from the time of his consecration. 

Resolved, That we accept his resignation with the pro- 
foundest sorrow and regret. Sorrow that he is so soon to be 
removed from us, and the tie to be severed which has united 
us in the most sacred relation, for the full period of thirteen 
years ; regret that this Parish is to be deprived of his pru- 
dent counsel, his invaluable services, his holy ministrations, 
and of those, patient, faithful, and most abundant labors of 
love, by which this Church has been so long edified and 
strengthened, its borders enlarged, and its prosperity under 
God, permanently ensured. 

Resolved, That the warmest affections of the members of 
this Parish will follow their beloved Pastor to the new field 
of higher responsibilities, and more arduous duties, to which 
in the Providence of God he has been called, and that we 
will never cease to offer our earnest prayers to the Great 
Head of the Church, that his blessing may follow His faith- 
ful servant in the sequel of his life, as it has in its beginning. 

Resolved, That the Treasurer of this Parish be directed to 
pay to the Rev. Dr. Burgess, his accustomed salary until the 
first day of April, A.D. 1848. 

Voted, That a certified copy of the preamble and first three 
Resolutions, be signed by the Wardens and Vestry and pre- 



360 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

sented to the Rev. Dr. Burgess ; which vote having passed 
■unanimously, the meeting adjourned. 

Ocf 22, V. Voted, That Dudley Buck, Hezekiah Hunting- 
ton, and Junius S. Morgan be and they are hereby appointed 
a Committee, to make enquiry in regard to procuring a 
Clergyman for this parish, and to present names of such as 
they may obtain, to this Vestry. 

Noif II. The committee appointed to inquire and report 
to the Vestry the name of a suitable person as Rector of this 
Parish, reported, that they had visited Rye, N. Y., for the 
purpose of hearing the Rev. Mr. Chauncey, and were pre- 
pared to report very favorably to the Vestry respecting him, 
still they wished before doing so, that some other members 
of the Vestry might be requested to visit the same place for 
the same purpose and on their motion it was 

Voted, That Messrs. W"' H. Imlay, Cha^ H. Northam, and 
G. W. Russell, be requested to visit Rye, for the purpose of 
hearing the Rev. Mr. Chauncey, and to report to this Vestry. 

Jeremy Hoadlcy, son of James and Lydia [Buell] Hoad- 
ley, was born in Branford, July 28, 1776 ; married July 7, 
1798, Harriott, daughter of Capt. Asher and Thankful 
[Hubbard] Fairchild, of Guilford, where he was engaged 
in the manufactory of hats until about 1806, when he 
came to Hartford, where he continued in the same busi- 
ness for many years. He probabl}^ immediately connected 
himself with the parish, for he is mentioned Dec. 28, 1808, 
as having contributed five dollars towards the balance 
due to Mr. Rayner ; and, in 1809, was assessed in a tax 
laid in the list of 1808. He was chosen as one of the 
Vestry, in 18 10, and held the position of Vestryman, or 
as one of the Wardens, nearly every year until 1831. He 
was frequently appointed to serve on various committees, 
and was a delegate to the Diocesan Convention on several 
occasions. He was a member of the Board of Relief of 
the town in 1827, and for seventeen consecutive years. 
In 1 8 19 he was one of the selectmen for twelve years, and 
was first selectman from 1834 to 1842; engineer of the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 36 1 

fire department, 1820 to 1826; acting mayor, on the death 
of Jared Griswold, from Nov. 23, 1835, to April 13, 1836; 
member of the general assembly for four years ; sheriff 
from 1829 to 1835 ; town treasurer in 1834; justice of the 
peace, 1826-7-8; member of the common council of the 
city, 1819-20; alderman from 1821 to 1824, and from 1836 
to 1843. From these different offices, and for the time 
which they were held by him, it will be seen that he was 
considered a very useful man, and that he must have been 
remarkably patient and even-tempered to have held them 
so long ; a friend who knew him well says that he " never 
knew him to be ruffled." In these days it would be 
wonderful if attempts were not made to crowd him out of 
his seat before it had fairly become warm. 

He stood by the church and labored for it in its most 
trying times, and ever contributed to it according to his 
ability. He remembered the ministr}^ and the personal 
appearance of Bishop Seabury, and his conversation upon 
the church in old times was instructive and entertaining. 
He was the " Clark " of the Parish — not the "Society's 
Clerk" — having his seat in the reading desk, leading in 
the responses with a loud voice, giving out the Psalms 
and Hymns to be sung, and all the notices, including the 
banns of marriage. In the absence of the clergyman he 
also read service and buried the dead. Truly a multifa- 
rious and useful man. He was, as nearly, as I can learn, 
the last person to occupy the position of " Clark." 

His daughter, Mrs. M. J. A. Sage, writes March 11, 
1894, as follows : " To show the poverty of our music my 
father gave out to be sung, ' Ye boundless realms of joy,' 
an eight-line psalm ; after much turning over of leaves 
and some delay, the leader came to the front of the organ 
and said, ' Mr. Hoadley, we have no tune to those words ' ; 
then my father gave the looth psalm, to be sung to the 
tune of ' Old Hundred.' 

" In the da3''s I speak of no woman responded aloud ; 
every body whispered ; but one Sunday Mrs. Philo Hillyer 



362 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

was in Hartford on a visit, and she responded in a loud 
voice in the Psalter, and one and another joined in a low 
quivering tone, until at last all joined, and from that time 
forth the responses were said as they should be." A few 
of his descendants still remain in the parish, useful and 
faithful, and devoted to its old ways. 

He died December i , 1 847. His wife died September 
22, 1849. 

Dec' J, V. To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church. 
The Committee appointed to enquire for some suitable 
person to be presented to the Parish, as Rector, beg leave to 
report, that they have made diligent enquiry, and respect- 
fully present the name of the Rev. Peter S. Chauncey as a 
suitable person to be recommended to the Parish to be 
elected to the vacant rectorship.

follows : 

To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen, — After much anxious and prayerful delibera- 
tion, on the subject of the invitation to the Rectorship of 
your Parish, and more especially since my recent visit to 
your City, I have yielded to the conviction, that it is my 
duty to accept it. 

This conclusion, Gentlemen, is on many accounts painful 
to me, as it severs me from a united and affectionate Congre- 
gation, and from the happy scene of my earliest labors in the 
ministry of the Gospel. It will impose upon me new and 
heavy duties, and the necessity for an amount of effort 
which I sometimes fear will overtax my health. 

Moreover it will require me to take the place of one 
whose praise is in all the Churches, and whose happy fortune 
it was to enjoy in an eminent degree, the respect and affection 
of his flock. 

But some one must assume the post from which he has 
been called to a higher ministry, and I will accept the trust 
in humble dependence on the promised grace of our Divine 
Master, and in the confident reliance on your sympathy, 
indulgence, and co-operation. 

I propose, if Providence permit, to be in Hartford on the 
first Sunday in February for the purpose of assuming the 
charge of the Congregation. I find, however, from the state 
of things here, and from the labor of preparing to move, 
that I cannot be permanently among you until Spring. 



364 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

With the earnest prayer, that God will make me the 

instrument of blessing and happiness to you all, and greatly 

honor my ministry, I am, Gentlemen, with great regard and 

respect, 

Your servant for Christ's sake, 

P. vS. Chauncey. 
Rye, January 3'', 1848. 

April 25-, P. Voted, That James Goodwin, Junius S. 
Morgan, and Daniel Buck, Jr., be, and they are hereby, 
appointed a Committee to investigate the mode of assessing 
Pews, and selling the same, in the different Churches of the 
various denominations in this, and other cities, and report to 
a future meeting of this Parish, the best mode of assessing 
and selling the Pews of Christ Church, with the view of more 
nearly equalizing the assessment of the Pews of said Church, 
and obtaining the fair value thereof at the annual sale on 
Easter Monday next, — with any remarks they may see fit to 
append to said report for the information of the members of 
the Parish. 

Resolved, That Samuel Tudor, Hez*^ Huntington, P. F. 
Robbins, Gurdon W. Russell, Geo. Sumner, be and they are 
hereby appointed a Committee, to examine the condition of 
the Organ, and report to the Parish, at a future meeting, 
such sum as they deem it expedient to expend in repairs 
thereon, and completion thereof; also to investigate the 
expenses now incurred by this Parish for the Organist, and 
singing during Public Worship; and whether an improve- 
ment in the selection of the music, or in the expenses of the 
Parish for this important department in the services of the 
Church can be made. 

Resolved, That the Wardens be requested to see that 
order is kept in the South Gallery of the Church. 

May 6, V. Voted, That the Wardens be a Committee to 
confer with the Rev''. Mr. Chauncey, in relation to his 
Institution as Rector of the Parish of Christ Church, Hartford, 
on the 18''' instant. 

Voted, That George Sumner be added to the above 
Committee.

Voied, That E. Flower be authorized to confer with the 
President of Washington College, in relation to the conduct 
of the Students in Church on the Sabbath. 

Concerning the Organ and the Music. 

May p, P. The Committee to whom was referred the 
subject of repairing and completing the organ, and to make 
investigations in relation to the singing in Christ Church, 
presented the following report, which was read and accepted, 
with the accompanying resolutions which were adopted, and 
ordered to be entered on the Records of the Parish. 

The Committee to whom was referred the subject of 
cleaning the Organ, and receiving estimates for additions to 
the same, and also the music generally, would report : 

That they have given it that attention which its import- 
ance demands, and find that the organ has not been cleaned 
for the space of eighteen years, and of consequence is now 
out of order, needing both cleaning and tuning, the cost of 
which will amount to about one hundred and fifty dollars. 
The Committee were also instructed to inquire if any ad- 
ditions to the Organ were needed, and the probable expense 
of the same. It is not now complete, as it was intended it 
should be when built, not possessing several stops, very de- 
sirable to make it a more perfect instrument and equal in 
capacity to nearly all, even of small size, now constructed. 
Mr. Erben, the builder, engaged to add them whenever the 
Parish might desire, and at a less price than they could be 
put in by others. It was expected that Mr. Erben would 
have examined the organ and given the details of what is 
necessary to render it complete, but not being able to be 
present, it was examined to-day by Mr. Faucet, who is in his 
employ, and upon his return Mr. Erben will transmit to us 
what additions and repairs are desirable, and the cost of the 
same. From an estimate made by him several years since, 
it is thought the expense may be about six hundred dollars. 
The whole amount then for cleaning, tuning, coupling, re- 
pairing, and making such additions to the organ as are desir- 
able, will be about seven hundred and fifty dollars, and as 
the Parish has not present funds in hand, it must be raised 



t 



366 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

by incurring a debt either temporary or permanent, or by 
laying- a tax, or by subscription, whichever mode the Parish 
may think best to adopt. That the instrument should be 
made complete we are fully decided, and it is due to us that 
having moved so often in the matter, we should now see 
that it is effected. 

As to the music generally, we have felt that it was a sub- 
ject requiring careful consideration and should be handled 
with delicacy ; but being firmly persuaded that this part of 
our service is of great importance and should be performed 
by all who are able to join it, their duty is plain ; we find no 
authority for delegating it to a certain number of persons, 
none whatever, nor was the Organ placed in the Church as 
a means of display. 

To the ministers are appointed certain duties, and also to 
the congregation, but nowhere in the Prayer Book do we 
find any direction for the service of the third party, plainly 
showing that the Priest and the congregation are to be the 
exclusive performers of the service. But in saying thus 
much, we do not intend to detract from the usefulness and 
perhaps necessity of the Choir as at present ; we must be 
mainly guided by them, and if they are to be our guides, we 
should see to it that they are skillful ones, and as a conse- 
quence we would inculcate the necessity of good music. 

In these remarks, nothing is intended to apply to the 
present choir ; they are only intended to illustrate the pro- 
priety of Congregational singing. Taking this view of the 
subject, the old familiar tunes are to be preferred, both be- 
cause they are good and because we are generally acquaint- 
ed with them. 

How much is the devout heart cheered, when not from 
one part of the Church alone, but from the whole, from all 
around, there is a swelling up to Heaven the glad notes of 
hundreds of voices. Who at such a time is listeninsf with 
the ear of a critic for some slight irregularities in his 
neighbor's voice ? This is not a performance on the boards 
of a theatre, but the Christian worship of Christian men. 
Now that there should be a novelty in our tunes, that is, a 
constant change, is a most preposterous fallacy, if we view 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 367 

the subject aright. Do we tire of our prayers, because they 
are fixed, and repeated on each Sunday ? Is the Litany less 
solemn, or the Decalogue less impressive because so often 
repeated ? Why then should we require great novelty in the 
tunes to be sung ? The old ones are familiar, they are dear 
to us, because for ages some of them have gone up to heaven 
from Christian voices, and are hallowed to us by a thousand 
associations. 

In connection with this we might remark upon certain ir- 
regularities, which have been practiced here, and perhaps 
elsewhere, and first, the singing of some anthem or verse 
previous to the commencement of the service. The rubric 
is plain, that the " minister shall begin the morning or even- 
ing Prayer by reading one or more of the following senten- 
ces of Scripture." If now one of these sentences is sung by 
the Choir, the minister certainly does not commence the ser- 
vice, as the rubric plainly says he shall, for the people attend 
to it, and engage in it, and do not regard it as a voluntary, — 
and further, the sentence " Glory be to thee, O Lord," be- 
tween the Epistle and Gospel, which is required to be said 
by the people, is now sometimes sung, which certainly is con- 
trary to the rubric. 

These practises have crept in without authority, and what- 
ever opinion we may now have about them as matters of 
taste cannot be allowed without breaking over those whole- 
some bounds which are allotted us, and which if we overstep 
in one instance may be followed by grievous errors. As to 
music in the Chapel, it isonly necessary that 'someone should 
be present, to start the tune. If the organist makes it a part 
of his duty, he will of course require extra pay, and his salary 
must be increased, but as there might be a reluctance on the 
part of the Parish to increase its expenses, it is believed that 
some one may be found, who for the love he bears to the 
Church, may be persuaded to take this duty upon him, and we 
would therefore recommend that it be left to the Rector, 
with the Wardens and Vestry, to make such a selection. 

In concluding we would say, that in making this report, 
we have intended no censure, but have only spoken of what 



368 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

we thought to be proper, indicated by authority and in ac- 
cordance with the spirit of our Church. 

If in any respect we have departed from the path pointed 
out, let us return to it and follow it as we are directed. 

The Convention of 1789, in allowing the Psalms in meter, 
with the Hymns, to be sung, places the whole matter under 
the supervision of the Rector, who with such assistance as he 
can obtain from persons skilled in music, shall give order 
concerning the tunes to be sung at any time in his Church. 
If this authority is exercised many irregularities may be cor- 
rected and much responsibility taken from the Organist. 

We would therefore recommend the adoption of the 
accompanying resolutions, all of which is respectfully sub- 
mitted. 

Per order of the Committee, 

Samuel Tudor, Chairman. 
Hartford, May 9"", 1848. 

Resolved, That the Rector be requested to exercise the 
authority which he now possesses, to rectify the irregularities 
in the commencement of the service, in the singing of the 
sentence between the Epistle and the Gospel ; that he desig- 
nate the proper Anthems and Psalms to be simg; in fine to 
supervise the music generally. 

Resolved, That whilst much must be left to the good sense 
and discretion of the Organist, the tunes to be sung should 
generally be the old ones as being familiar and best. 

Resolved, That the Organ be cleaned, tuned, repaired, and 
such additions made to it, as will renderit complete, provided 
that the same can be done for an amount not exceeding 
seven hundred and fifty dollars, including the sum of 
one hundred and fifty dollars, which was appropriated for 
the above purpose by a vote of the Wardens and Vestry, by 
a meeting held on the 29th day of May, 1847, which vote ap- 
propriating the same is adopted and approved by this meet- 
ing. Also, provided that Five hundred dollars of the above 
sum of $750, be raised by subscription. 

Voted, That the thanks of the Wardens and Vestry be pre- 
sented to Miss Hart, for her liberality in jDresenting to the

Parish the carpet which now covers the floor of the Vestry- 
room of our Church, and that the vote be communicated to 
Miss Hart by the Rector. 

The 'music of the Parish was about this time the sub- 
ject of much discussion, and of considerable difference of 
opinion. The report, which has been quoted, was the 
outcome of it, and it gave great satisfaction to some of the 
older members ; correspondingly, the younger ones, who 
thought much of music as a fine art, were disappointed. 
The organ-gallery w^as frequented by some who, ap- 
parently, were interested with little except the musical 
part of the service. Mr. Babcock, for a long time the 
organist, resigned, and Mr. Downs was appointed to his 
place. He was a brilliant genius, and naturally thought 
much of his talents, and his admirers thought much of 
him. It was the commencement of a disaffection w^iich 
was serious for a time, and very improperly entered into 
the election of the officers of the Parish. 

After much discussion and the passage of resolutions 
concerning the organ, it was voted to procure a new one 
at a cost of $3,500, if a proper exchange could be made for 
the old one, and one thousand dollars was raised by sub- 
scription. This subscription was secured, but is not on 
record, nor can it be found among the files. The organ 
was made by Mr. Hook, and gave great satisfaction.

Selling the Pews. 
There was not always perfect satisfaction given in the 
method of leasing the pews, or in the amount of money 
which was realized. A hundred years hence it may be 
interestinsf to learn how this was done. 

March JO, V. Voted, That the following plan for selling 

the Pews this year be adopted, viz., that the numbers of all 

the Pews be placed in a box, and that they be drawn out by 

the auctioneer, and that the Pews be sold in the order in 

which the numbers are drawn from the box.

370 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Voted, That W". H. Imlay, Dudle}^ Buck, Hezekiah Hunt- 
ington, and Philemon F. Robbins, be, and they are hereby, 
appointed a Committee to prepare the numbers in accord- 
ance with the above vote. The report of the Committee ap- 
pointed at a previous meeting- to reassess the Pews in the 
Church, having been read and accepted, it was then 

Voted, That WilHam H. Imlay be requested to make a 
statement on the day of the sale of the Pews, relative to the 
financial affairs of the Parish, and to the importance of in- 
creasing the funds as much as possible, from the sale of the 
Pews the present year. 

July 6, V. Voted, That Ebenezer Flower, and Daniel 
Buck, jr., be a committee to ascertain the expense of Gas fix- 
tures, and the probable expense of lighting the Church with 
gas, and report to a future meeting. 

The use of illuminating gas was introduced into the city 
about 1849. The light furnished by whale oil was not 
particularly brilliant, but was considered as sufficient 
until a better was found. The lamps, with some about 
the reading desk, afforded as much light as most of the 
parishioners had in their homes. The sexton, whose 
duty it was to fill and trim them, did not wish for more. 

V. Voted, That Phillip Ripley and Alfred Watkinson be a 
Committee to ascertain the expense of a Cast Iron Fence to 
be erected around the Church in place of the old one, and 
report at a future meeting. 

Aug* 20, V. Voted, That the Rector, P. S. Chauncey, have 
leave of absence from the duties of this Parish, during such 
time as he may deem expedient for the benefit of his health, 
and that he is hereby authorized to procure the services of 
the Rev. Dr. Nathaniel S. Wheaton to attend to the Parochial 
duties of the Parish during his absence, at the expense of the 
Parish. 

Nov' 22. The following communication received from the 
Rector was read:

Hartford, Nov. 17, 1849. 
To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen, I beg" most respectfully to give you notice of 
my intention to resign the Rectorship of Christ Church at 
Easter next. Allow me to add, that if you desire to call 
another Rector before that date, I shall cheerfully accede to 
your views. With great regard and esteem, I am, Gentle- 
men, your friend and servant. 

P. S. Chauncey. 

Hartford, Nov. 20, 1849. 

Dudley Buck, Esq'. 

My dear Sir, The Communication which I addressed to 

the Wardens" and Vestry of Christ Church on Saturday last, 

would have been more formal and explicit, had I supposed 

that there was any danger of a misapprehension of my 

views. And to guard against this view I beg to state to you, 

that my reason for resigning the Rectorship is the state of 

my health. 

Very truly yours, 

P. S. Chauncey. 

1850. 

Jany. 8. The Committee appointed at the last meeting of 
the Parish, to confer with the Rector, reported, that they had 
had several conferences with him, and the result was, that he 
(the Rector) had no further communication to make. 

A Resolution was offered by Dr. George Sumner and 
passed (the members voting by ballot) as follgws, 31 yeas, 13 
nays, 4 blanks. 

Resolved, That the Rector of this Parish be requested to 
withdraw his communication to the Wardens and Vestry, 
bearing date November 17, 1849. 

Feb. s, -P. The committee appointed at a previous meet- 
ing to inform the Rector of a vote of the Parish, " requesting 
him to withdraw his communication to the Wardens and 
Vestry, bearing date Nov. I7'^ 1849," presented the following 
communications, which were read to the meeting: 



372 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Hartford, 30''' Jan. 1850. 
To Rev. P. S. Chauncey. 

D"" Sir, At a meeting of the Parish of Christ Church, 
convened at the Chapel on the 22^ instant, a communication 
from the Rector to the Wardens and Vestry was read, in 
which you announce your intention to resign the Rectorship 
of the Parish at the ensuing Easter. 

By a large vote, the Parish requested you to withdraw 
that communication, and the many friends who have wit- 
nessed your untiring efforts and successful labors, to advance 
the cause of pure and undefiled religion, will be delighted to 
hear that those efforts and those labors are to be hereafter 
exerted for their present happiness and for their everlasting 
peace. We the undersigned having been chosen a committee 
to confer with you on this subject, will be happy to transmit 
to the next Parish meeting any communication which you 
may wish to make, or to adopt any other course which shall 
be satisfactory to yourself. With sentiments of affection and 
highest respect for 3'-our personal character, 

We are truly your friends, 

George Sumner, 
Junius S. Morgan, 
Hezekiah Huntington. 

To Dr. Sumner, J. S. Morgan, [ 
and H. Huntington, Esq" J 

Gentlemen. I am in the receipt of your communication of 
the 30"' Ultimo in regard to the action of the Parish of Christ 
Church, on the subject of my resignation of the Rectorship. 

I am exceedingly gratified by the large vote requesting 
me to withdraw that resignation, but after mature deliberation 
beg respectfully to state to the Parish, thro' you, my 
decision to adhere to my purpose, and sever my connection 
with the Parish at Easter, next. I transmit herewith a com- 
munication addressed to the Wardens and Vestry of Christ 
Church, containing my formal resignation of the Rectorship. 

I avail myself. Gentlemen, of this occasion to express my 
warmest thanks for the very kind and courteous manner in

which you have discharged the trust committed to you, and 

of my unchanging regard and affection. 

Very faithfully yours, 

P. S. Chauncey, 

Rector of Christ Church, Hartford. 
Hartford, Feb. 4, 1850. 

Hartford, Feb. 4, 1850. 
To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen, In a communication dated November 17"", 
1849, and addressed to you, I announced my intention to re- 
sign the Rectorship of Christ Church at Easter next. As it 
is proper that you should be in possession of a more formal 
document, I beg to say that I now resign the Rectorship to 
take effect on Easter day. 

It is needless to dwell here upon the pain which this 
severing of sacred and cherished ties has caused me ; but I 
am sure you will allow me to express my heartfelt wishes for 
your prosperity and happiness as a Parish, and as individuals, 
as also my warmest prayer that the Great Head of the 
Church will send you a Pastor "after his own heart," in 
whose ministry you will all find great delight, and by whose 
labours you may be fitted for the enjoyments of a brighter 
world. Commending you and those whom you represent, to 
the guidance and blessing of Heaven, I am. Gentlemen, 

Your servant for Christ's sake, 

P. vS. Chauncey, 

Rector, etc. 

The following Preamble and Resolutions were then pre- 
sented by Samuel H. Huntington, Esqr., and passed unani- 
mously. 

Whereas, The Rector of this Parish, the Rev. P. S. 
Chauncey, did on the 17"* of November last, announce to the 
Wardens and Vestry, that he felt compelled by the state of 
his health to notify them of his intention to resign the 
Rectorship of the Parish at Easter next, and Whereas at a 
subsequent meeting of the Parish, a vote was passed request- 
ing him to withdraw said notice of his intention, thereby ex- 
pressing to him the wish of the Parish that he should con- 



374 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

tinue in the Rectorship, in answer to which vote a communi- 
cation has at the present meeting of the Parish been received 
from him, stating a conviction on his part of the necessity of 
adhering to his intention, as expressed in his note of the 
1 7"" of November, and in pursuance thereof, tendering his 
formal resignation to take effect at the ensuing Easter, — 
therefore, 

Resolved, That the same be and hereby is accepted. 

Resolved, That in accepting said resignation a connexion is 
severed that has been distinguished on the part of our Rector, 
by an amenity of deportment in his daily intercourse with his 
people that has won our sincerest esteem — by a soundness 
of principle and integrity of character which command our 
unfeigned respect, — and by a most laborious fidelity in the 
discharge of his parochial duties, which entitles him to our 
most affectionate gratitude. 

Resolved, That wherever in the good Providence of God 
his future lot may be cast, we most cordially assure him, and 
his family, of our constant and most fervent prayers, for his 
and their health and happiness, and that the Divine Blessing 
may most abundantly rest upon him and them. 

Resolved, That the Treasurer be authorized and directed 
to pay to Mr. Chauncey his accustomed salary up to the first 
of August next. 

Resolved, That the Treasurer be and he is hereby author- 
ized to pay the Rev. P. S. Chauncey the sum of Fifty dollars, 
being the amount paid by him for an assessment against 
Christ Church Parish for the erection of a monument to the 
memory of the late Rt. Rev. Bishop vSeabury at St. James' 
Church, New London, 

It is not necessary to add but little to what has been 
said of Mr. Chauncey in the report of the committee or 
the Funds of the Parish. He was a graduate of Colum- 
bia College, and of the General Theological Seminary, 
and was Rector of Christ Church, Rye, N. Y., " where he 
officiated with admirable fidelity for nearly fourteen 
years." His parishioners upon his leaving them said : 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 3/5 

" that in his removal from our midst, we shall lose a valu- 
able Citizen, an accomplished Gentleman, and a sincere 
Christian." 

After resigning the Rectorship of Christ Church he 
was in 185 1 called to St. James' Church, Hamilton Square, 
N. Y., "the duties of which he discharged with the same 
disinterested devotion that had characterized his whole 
previous ministry, for a period of nearly sixteen years, 
until the day of his death." 

The Rev. Dr. Montgomery in a memorial sermon 
says this of him : 

"Brought up in a high social position, with all the in- 
stincts and good breeding of a gentleman, Chauncey was the 
very impersonation of integrity and honor. In his society 
you recognized at once that you were in the presence of a 
Christian companion who would never cause you to repent 
of the most unreserved confidence, and who would respect 
your feelings as if they were his own." 

And again,— 

"As a Teacher from the sacred rostrum, Dr. Chauncey 
instructed his people faithfully in the doctrines of grace. 
He proclaimed in the pulpit, and from house to house, the 
simple and precious truth as it is in Jesus, and held up with 
unswerving fidelity the cross of an atoning Saviour. I ven- 
ture to assert that if all his sermons were examined in every 
minutest part, they would all yield their consentaneous testi- 
mony to the fulness and integrity of the cardinal verities of 
the Scripture — everywhere would be the shadow of the 
cross of our Incarnate God." 

Feb. 21, V. A proposition from Mr. R. G. Page of New 
York, made to Mr. L. T. Downs the Organist, of this Parish, 
to sing in Christ Church on the Sabbath, and other days of 
Public Worship, and teach singing in the Parish to such per- 
sons as may wish to learn, at a salary of Four hundred dol- 
lars per annum, was presented for the consideration of the 
meeting. Whereupon, it was 



376 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

V. Voted, That immediate efforts be made to secure the 
services of Mr. Page, and that Messrs. Charles H. Sigourney 
and A. Watkinson be, and they are hereby, appointed a Com- 
mittee to raise by subscription the sum of Four hundred 
dollars, for the above purpose. 

March 5, V. Voted, That the Wardens be, and they are 
hereby, authorized to invite the Rev. D''. Nathaniel S. 
Wheaton, Rev. D^ Thomas W. Coit, and Rev. D''. John 
Williams to officiate and perform the duties of Christ Church 
Parish, until some person is elected to supply the vacancy 
occasioned by the resignation of Rev. P. S. Chauncey. 

It is seldom that any parish is served as ably and 
faithfully as was Christ Church by these gentlemen for 
the space of a year. Dr. Wheaton being the elder and 
former rector of the parish, took upon himself the more 
immediate supervision of its affairs, but all of them 
preached in succession as suited themselves, and it is 
needless to add to the great satisfaction of all. 

March 25, V. Voted, That the resignation of Mrs. Bolles 
be accepted and in consequence of her past services in the 
Choir, that the thanks of the Vestry be presented to her by 
Mr. Z. Preston, and that she be presented with the use of pew 
No. 16, for herself and family the ensuing year. 

At a Parish meeting held April i, a communication 
was received from Rev. Mr. Chauncey relating to the sum 
of $550, which had been voted him at a meeting in 
February. The communication may be found in the 
report of the Committee on the Funds of the Parish, p. 
121. 

April JO, P. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be and 
they are hereby authorized and requested to make enquiries 
at their discretion, to ascertain the expense of erecting a 
Cast Iron Fence around the Church; of painting the interior 
of the same, and the expense of Gas fixtures, for the purpose 
of lighting the Church and Chapel with Gas. 

Also, to devise ways and means to pay for the same, and

meeting of the Parish. 

July 27. The following communication was received from 
Sam' H. Huntington, Sup', of the Simday School. 

Hartford, July 12, 1850. 
To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church. 

Gentlemen, It is now nearly three years since the Parish 
has done anything in aid of the Sunday School Library. 
The selection of books in the present library is a very poor 
one, and the number not very great. I have made some 
small additions within the last few months, but more are very 
much wanted; the interest felt by the children in the Sunday 
School depends very much upon the Library. It is desirable 
therefore, that there should be a collection to increase the 
Library, and if you see fit to direct that one should be made, 
I hope that suitable notice may be given, that it may be 
as large as possible. Very respectfully, 

Your obedient servant, 

S. H. Huntington, 

Supei'intendent. 

Aug^ 10. The following communication, signed by forty- 
four persons, was presented and read to the meeting as 
follows : the Parish was becoming impatient. 

To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church Parish,

The undersigned respectfully request that a Parish meet- 
ing of Christ Church Parish may be called at as early a date 
as possible, for the purpose of taking into consideration the 
making of certain repairs upon the Church building, the 
inclosing said building with an Iron Fence, — and also to take 
such steps as the meeting may deem proper for the purpose 
of procuring a Rector for said Parish.

and Coit, the officiating Clergymen of Christ Church Parish, 
to be divided among them in such proportion as they shall 
deem proper. 

August i6, P. Resolved, That the Committee appointed by 
the Wardens and Vestry to contract for the building a Cast 
Iron Fence around the Church, be instructed to cause a fence 
of the pattern drawn by Mr. Althouse and exhibited to this 
meeting by Mr. Sigourney, to be built and set on a good and 
sufficient coping to be placed on a level from the southeast 
corner of the Parish lot to the North West buttress of the 
Church, following the street line on Main and Church streets, 
to the passway west of the Church, — provided the same 
shall be done without increasing the debt of the Parish. 

Voted, That all votes passed at any meeting previous to 
the passage of the above Resolution, respecting the building 
a Cast Iron Fence around the Church be rescinded. 

Oct. ly. The following Petition from sundry members of 

the Parish was presented for the consideration of the meeting. 

To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, 

We the undersigned having been instrumental by our 

individual contributions in engaging the services of Mr. 



IISIPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 379 

Paige, as the leader of the Choir of Christ Church, beg leave 
to represent to you, that our expectation was that he, Mr. 
Paige, should be placed in the sole charge of said Choir, and 
that both at the rehearsals, and during the services in the 
Church, the Choir and the Organist should be wholly under 
his direction and that of no one else. We wish it to be 
understood that the principal and indeed the only induce- 
ment which influenced us, was the acknowledged taste and 
experience of Mr. Paige in sacred music, of which we hoped 
the Choir of Christ Church might have the benefit ; and hav- 
ing no means of making known our wishes in this matter but 
through you, and supposing they are coincident with your 
own, we ask your concurrence in carrying out the object as 
stated above.

There was also a communication from Mr. R. G. Paige, 
addressed to Mr, Z. Preston, read to the meeting, stating that 
there were some difficulties existing between himself and 
Mr. Downs the Organist. Whereupon it was voted as fol- 
lows. That Messrs. Z. Preston, C. H. Sigourney, and H. Hunt- 
ington be a Committee to confer with the parties above 
named, and if possible adjust the differences existing be- 
tween them, and report their doings to a future meeting of 
the Vestry. 

Nov. 7, V. The Committee to whom the subject of a 
communication from Mr. Paige, and a Petition from sundry 
members of the Parish, were referred, respectfully report. 

That in their opinion the Parish would be unwilling to 
release Mr. Paige from his present contract, thereby disap- 
pointing the expectations of a large majority of the parish ; 
and particularly those who were instrumental in obtaining 
his services, and they recommend the adoption of the follow- 
ing resolutions: 

Resolved, That in the opinion of the Wardens and Vestry,

the Vocal leader of a Choir, when a Scientific Musician (as 
in the present case) should have the sole charge and direction 
of all the performances b}^ the Choir, and that while the 
Organist is responsible for his performance on the instru- 
ment, they hope that in all his accompaniments, he will en- 
deavor to aid the performance by seconding the views and 
wishes of the Vocal leader. 

Resolved, That the Clerk be requested to furnish Mr. R. G. 
Paige, and Mr. L. T. Downs, each a copy of the foregoing 

Resolutions.

Episcopal City Mission. 

Dec. 12, V. Voted, That a contribution be taken up in the 
Church, on the last Sunday of December 1850, and the last 
vSunday of June 1851, forthe benefit of the Episcopal City 
Mission. 

This Mission was undertaken by the Parishes of Christ 
Church and St. John's, and Rev. Charles R. Fisher was 
appointed by the Bishop as Missionary. It was under the 
management of three persons from each Parish, consist- 
ing of Gurdon W. Russell, Thomas T. Fisher, and 
Thomas J. Fales from Christ, and M. W, Wilson, William 
Faxon, and Nathan M. Waterman from St. John's. The 
object was to provide further religious instruction to 
those living east of Main street. The matter was consid- 
ered at a meeting of both Parishes, fully attended in the 
Chapel, and was most cordially supported. The old Con- 
ference Room, in Temple street, belonging to Deacon 
Aaron Colton, of which previous mention has been made, 
was decently fitted up for the services, and was well filled, 
especially in the evening. The different clergy in the 
city rendered valuable assistance to the Missionary, and 
the Mission evidently was accomplishing the objects for 
which it was intended.

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 38 1 

After a while a Parish was formed, named St. Paul's, 
and a Church was built on Market street at a cost of ten 
thousand dollars. Unfortunately, it was too near Christ 
Church to be eminently successful, and soon ceased to be 
prosperous. Mr. Fisher, however, was especially fitted 
for his position, and was exceedingly useful, not in this 
particular region alone, but all over the city; the poor 
and afflicted found in him a friend to counsel, to assist, 
and console. After his death the Parish dwindled, and 
was dissolved, and the Church was closed. As it did not 
seem to have sufficient friends to preserve it and keep it 
open for religious observances, it was sold, by permission 
of the Diocesan Convention, to the German Lutherans, 
who still use it for public worship, and it can be used for 
no other purpose. 

Dec. jr. At a Parish meeting called especially for this 
purpose it was unanimously 

Voted, That the Rev. Thomas M. Clark of Boston, Mass., 
having the approbation of the Bishop, be requested to accept 
the Rectorship of this Parish. 

1851. 

Jan. ji, P. The following communication from the Rev. 
Thomas M. Clark of Boston, Mass., was read and ordered to 
be entered upon the records of this Parish.

C. H. Northam, )' 

Gentlemen, 

I have had the honor to receive through you, an invi- 
tation to the Rectorship of Christ Church, Hartford. After 
giving to the subject the careful and deliberate consideration 
which its importance demands, I have concluded to accept 
this invitation, and hope to enter upon my duties with you 
on the first of March, next. May the Divine blessing rest 
upon the solemn relation which is thus established, and 



382 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

strength be given me for the faithful discharge of the obli- 
gations which it involves. 

Your friend and servant in Christ, 

Thomas M. Clark. 

A salary of twenty-five hundred dollars per annum 
was voted to Mr. Clark, and all expenses in removing 
from Brookline to Hartford were to be defrayed by the 
Parish. 

April 21, P. Resolved, That this Church will long cherish 
a grateful remembrance of the distinguished ability, zeal, 
and faithfulness with which the Rev. N. S. Wheaton, D.D., 
the Rev. Thomas W. Coit, D.D., and the Rev. John Williams, 
D.D., have ministered in this Parish. 

Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be and they are 
hereby authorized to make such alterations in the Slips at 
the East end of the Church as they may deem expedient. 

Jtme 2p, V. Voted, That the House of Convocation have 
the use of the Church on the day preceding the next annual 
Commencement of Trinity College, and that 'permission be 
also granted to the Faculty and Students of Trinity College 
to use the Church, Organ, and Chapel for the next annual 
Commencement exercises, agreeable to the request of the 
President and Graduating Class, subject to the direction of 
D. Morgan and Z. Preston, Wardens of the Parish. 

A communication from Mr. R. G. Paige tendering his 
resignation as organist and chorister was read and 
declined by a unanimous vote. On the 23d of August he 
again tendered his resignation, which was accepted. On 
the 13th of vSeptember, the committee on procuring an 
organist reported ; the report was accepted and ordered to 
be entered on the records ; it is as follows : 

The committee appointed by the Vestry to procure an 
Organist to supply the vacancy occasioned by the resignation 
of Mr. Paige, respectfully report that they have made an 
arrangement with Mr. L. T. Downs to take charge of the 
Organ and Choir on and after the first of October next, at the

usual salary of five hundred dollars per annum; Mr. Downs 
agreeing to furnish such a Choir as he may be able to obtain, 
without charge to the Parish. And he also agrees that if 
after a suitable time for forming a Choir, and practicing with 
them, he should be unable to render the music satisfactory to 
the Rector, Wardens and Vestry, and the parish generally, 
he will vacate the situation on receiving a reasonable notice. 

The services of Mr. Wm. Wander, as tenor singer, were 
secured for one hundred and fifty dollars per annum, and 
the salary of the organ-blower was increased to twenty 
dollars. The very decided diversity of opinions and the 
disturbances concerning the music, and an iron fence, 
were now quieted. The new Rector had informed him- 
self about the dissensions which had existed for nearly a 
year, and soon brought them to a happy conclusion. 
Another subject, however, remained for consideration, 
that of the finances of the parish. 

1852. 

Sep\ 2(p, V. Voted, That Denison Morgan, Zephaniah 
Preston, and Cha^ H. Sigourney be a Committee to purchase 
such movable seats as they may think expedient for the use 
of the Church. 

Voted, That the Rector be requested to notify a meeting 
of the gentlemen of the Parish on some Tuesday evening 
during the month of October ensuing, to consider the 
indebtedness of this Parish and to take such measures as 
they may think advisable for the partial or entire licpiidation 
of the Parish debt. 

Oct. 7, / '. IV/iereas, it has pleased Almighty God to re- 
move from this world the Rt. Rev. Philander Chase, D.D., 
Bishop of Illinois, and formerly Rector of this Church. 

Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with the family of 
the deceased, with the Diocese over which he so faithfully 
presided, and with the Church at large, to which for many 
years he devoted his best energies, through self denials and 
peculiar privations, in the heavy loss which they have all 
sustained, by the death of this venerable man._ 



384 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Resolved, That we cherish with grateful hearts the re- 
membrance of his valuable services to this Parish, in the 
earlier years of its existence, which then received an impress 
from his vigorous hand, that will not soon be effaced, and a 
direction towards sound Churchmanship and evangelical 
Christianity, which we trust will be perpetuated forever. 

Resolved, That suitable tokens of mourning in meinory of 
our deceased Father, be placed in the Church, and the Rector 
be requested to take such notice of this solemn Providence 
as the occasion demands. 

Dec^. 4, V. Voted, That the Sexton have liberty to ring 
the Bell at 12 m. and at 9 o'clock, p. m., in accordance with a 
vote of the town. 

1853. 

March 28, P. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be a 
Committee to propose some plan for the payment of the 
Parish debt — to build a Fence — Paint the interior of the 
Chtn'ch, and make such other improvements and repairs as 
they may deem necessary, and report the same to an ad- 
journed meeting of the Parish, to be held on Tuesday the 
5"" day of April, next, at 7 o'clock p. m. 

April J, P. Voted, That H. Huntington, D. Morgan, G. 
W. Russell, James Bolter, Thomas J. Fales, and T. T. Fisher, 
be, and they are hereby, appointed a Committee to raise by 
Subscription the sum of Eighteen Thousand Dollars, payable 
in one, two, three, and four years, in equal annual install- 
ments, the same to be appropriated as recommended by the 
Wardens and Vestry. 

No Subscription is to be binding unless the full amount 
of Eighteen Thousand Dollars is subscribed. 

August JO, P. Mr. Dudley Buck was elected Treasurer 
for the current year (to fill the vacancy occasioned by the 
death of Cyprian Nichols, Esq.) to continue in office until his 
successor is chosen. 

Cyprian Nichols, the son of George Nichols and Eunice 
(Lord) Nichols, was born in Hartford, May 4, 1773, and 
died August 13, 1853. He married Mary Scoter, born at 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 385 

the Hague, December 26, 1777, and died September 23, 

1848. Her father was John Sooter, born April 2, 1752. 

The ancestor of C. N. was Cyprian Nichols, born 1642, 

who came from Witham, County Essex, England, 1664. 

He bought the house of William Whiting, on Governor 

street, who was one of the early settlers of Hartford. 

The father of Eunice Lord was John Lord, a descendant 

of Thomas Lord, an early settler. In the war of 181 2, 

Mr. Nichols was a partner in business with Wm. H. 

Imlay, after that with Thomas Tisdale, and subsequently 

with Lemuel Humphrey. He retired from business about 

1836, but continued an active member of the Parish until 

the time of his death. Few men in it have been more 

honored or respected, or more devoted to its interests 

than Mr. Nichols. His name first appears when he was 

chosen Vestryman in 1 809, and ever afterwards he did not 

fail to serve the Parish faithfully and diligently. He was 

a consistent Churchman, amiable, temperate, but decided, 

most charitable to the opinions of others, while holding 

fast to his own. He was liberal in his contributions for 

church purposes, and generous also in all measures for the 

public good. He was a useful and respected citizen, and 

was at times engaged in town and city affairs. For a 

further account of him reference is made to the Report of 

the Committee on the Funds, p. 98.

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 389 

July 16, V. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry direct 
that the Organ be set back into the Tower in such a manner 
and to such a degree as may hereafter be determined, pro- 
vided a sum sufficient to defray the expenses be raised by 
subscription in the Parish. 

July 2p, V. Voted, That Denison Morgan, T. T. Fisher, 
and John W. Bull, be, and they are hereby, appointed a Com- 
mittee with power to alter the seats in the Gallery, for the 
better accommodation of the Choir — also to examine the 
Furnaces, and if it is in their opinion deemed necessary, to 
obtain new ones, — they are to raise the Slips in the front 
part of the Church, put in new Slips where the Registers 
now are — cut doorways through from the North and South 
entrances under the Organ Gallery, and make such other 
repairs as may be necessary in consequence of said alterations. 

The resolutions of July i6th and 29th, proposed very 
great and serious changes in the eastern part of the Church. 
The Rector was so popular that crowds were drawn to 
hear him, especially at the third service in the evening. 
The aisles were filled with chairs, and yet more room was 
wanted, and so some of the more enthusiastic members 
wished to increase the sittings, by moving back the organ 
into the tower, and taking down the stairs leading to the 
galleries ; according to the plan of the architect these were 
to be placed in an addition to the building in the east, on 
each side of the tower. The cost was admitted to be con- 
siderable, but the necessity for more accommodation was 
urgent, and the changes were supposed to be safely made; 
the architect said so. But the matter never came to a 
parish meeting, and the very decided opposition of some 
of the older and cooler heads effectually prevented the 
prosecution of the change. It was not needed, nor was it 
safe. 

Shortly afterwards Dr. Clark was chosen as Bishop of 
the diocese of Rhode Island, and increased accommodations 
were not found to be necessary. It was a fortunate escape 
from plans which would have injured the fine proportions 
of the church. 



390 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Aiig\ 2j, V. Voted, That the Painting over the Window 
in rear of the Chancel in the Church be removed. 

This was the " Transparent painting of the Ascension," 
procured in London and presented to the Parish by Dr. 
Wheaton, Dec. 26, 1829. It was injured by the falling 
of a ladder against it, so seriously, that it was thought at 
the time that it could not be successfully repaired, and 
hence the preceding vote. As has been stated in a note 
in the Annals, it was sent to Dr. Wheaton, at Marbledale. 
The canvas was rolled, and securely packed, but 
accidentally, on the Shebaug railway, it was thrown out of 
place, and one end of it meeting some obstruction by the 
roadside, it was utterly ruined. 

A stained glass window was put in its place, according 
to the vote of the Vestry of August 29th. It was a 
dazzling object to the eyesight, which several coats of 
lime-wash or paint on the weatherside did not wholly 
remove. A sketch of the window lying by me, enables 
me to give some of the subjects which composed it. The 
symbols in the upper part were not objectionable, but the 
lower ones never excited much admiration. In one panel 
were the " Head of Judas Iscariot, rope, and thirty pieces 
of Silver, Reed, Spear, Lanthorn, and the Sword." In the 
center panel, " Cross, Crown of Thorns, the Spear, Reed, 
and Sponge, Hammer, Nippers, Old and New Covenant." 
In the third panel were the " Seamless garment, three 
dice, and Pillar and Scourge." Its merits as an artistical 
production were commensurate with the cost. It was 
removed when the fine Memorial window was put in its 
place, and is now stored in the tower of the Church. 

Augt. 2p, V. The subject of a Stained Glass Window was 
again presented for the consideration of the meeting. Mr. 
W"\ Gibson from New York exhibited some drawings, and 
stated what the cost of a Stained Glass Window would be. 
Whereupon it was Voted, That the Committee on Alterations 
and repairs, consisting of Denison Morgan, T. T. Fisher, and 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 39I 

John W. Bull, be, and they are hereby, authorized to procure 
a Stained Glass Window to be placed in the West end of the 
Church, over the Chancel, at an expense not to exceed Five 
Hundred Dollars. 

Sep\ 22, V. It was stated that the Rev. T. M. Clark has

Island. Whereupon it was Voted, That John Brocklesby, 
Isaac Toucey, Charles Chapman, and the Wardens, be a 
committee to prepare a circular expressive of the feelings of 
this Parish occasioned by said election, and procure the 
signatures of the members of the Parish thereto and present 
the same to Dr. Clark. 

Nov. J, V. A communication from the Rev. T. M. Clark 
resigning the Rectorship of the Parish was read. Whereupon 
it was 

Voted, That the same be referred to a meeting of the 
Parish. 

Nov. p. The following communication from the Rev. 
Thomas M. Clark to the Wardens and Vestry, and by that 
body referred to a meeting of the Parish, was read and 
accepted: 

Hartford, Nov. 3", 1854. 

To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford. 

Gentlemen, After patient and careful consideration I 
have felt myself constrained to accept the Office of Bishop in 
the Diocese of Rhode Island, and therefore I must now 
resign the Rectorship of the Church in which I have 
ministered with so much pleasure for the past few years. 
Nothing but an overpowering sense of obligation would lead 
me to sunder the relation which I hold to this congregation. 

The perfect harmony which prevails amongst us, the 
devoted attachment and confidence which you have ever 
manifested towards me, and my warm affection for all this 
people, render this a severe and bitter trial. 

May God in his goodness provide for this Church a 
Pastor who shall be more faithful than I have been, and bless 
you with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. 



392 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

If agreeable to the Parish, I shall be happy to continue 
my services in this Church until the first of March next, 
unless, in the mean time some one shall be found to take the 
duties of the Rectorship. 

Your obedient servant in Christ, 

Thomas M. Clark. 

The following Preamble and Resolutions were then pre- 
sented by Prof. J. Brocklesby, and adopted unanimousl)^: 

That whereas, the Rev. Thomas M. Clark, D.D., having 
been elected to the Episcopate of Rhode Island, has officially 
resigned the charge of this Parish ; Resolved, That we receive 
with feelings of deepest sorrow, the resignation of Dr. Clark, 
who has been to us a faithful spiritual Guide and Instructor, 
and whose ministry has been so acceptable to all, whose 
labors under God have strengthened the walls of our Zion, 
and whose influence for good has been extensively felt 
throughout the community around us. That while we grieve 
for the necessity which has severed the sacred bond that 
existed between us, we are yet thankful for the blessings we 
have received. 

We bow to the cross thus laid upon us, remembering that 
it is the " Lord that gave and the Lord that takes away." 

Resolved, That as we part from our beloved Pastor, in 
sorrow of spirit, we pray that he may be endued with wisdom 
and strength from on high, to meet the solemn responsibilities 
of the holy office to which he has been called. — That in the 
new field, which he is about to enter, his labors may be more 
abundantly blessed, that wherever he plants, God may give 
the increase, and the cause of our Redeemer flourish and 
extend. — And that the time may be far distant, when after 
a life "full of good works," he shall be summoned to a still 
nobler sphere of action in the realms above. 

Resolved, That this Parish accept with much satisfaction 
the offer of Dr. Clark to remain with us for a limited period, 
upon the conditions mentioned in his letter of resignation. 

Voted, That a copy of the foregoing Preamble and Resolu- 
tions, signed by the Chairman and Clerk, be presented to the 
Rev. Dr. Clark.

Dr. George Sumner came to Hartford, in 1819, from 
Windham county, and soon connected himself with Christ 
Church. He was always a valuable member of the 
Parish, and was much interested in all its concerns. For 
many years he was a member of the Vestry, acting upon 
committees, and quietly, but effectually, exercising much 
influence. His acquaintance with the clergy was exten- 
sive and his hospitable doors were ever open for their 
reception. The rectors ever found him a firm friend and 
supporter, and the Parish a safe and judicious counselor. 
What was said of him in " Physicians in Hartford in 1837," 
was very true and may be repeated here. " He was emi- 
nently an intellectual man, well educated, fond of reading, 
hospitable, kind hearted, pleasant in manner and conver- 
sation, and very careful never to give offense. " " He spent 
his money liberally, was a kind husband, a loving and in- 
dulgent father, and a good citizen : his efforts were in 
favor of good objects." While he was a sound church- 
man, he was not offensively so, nor disposed to unjust 
criticism or ill-natured remarks about others who differed 
from him. " And this was not because he had no opinions 
or was fearful of acknowledging them, but from a gentle- 
ness of nature which led him into paths of peace." He is 
deserving of special remembrance in our Parish. He 
was the son of George and Mary (Tyler) Sumner, and was 
born in Abington, in the town of Pomfret, Dec. 13, 1793, 
and died Feb. 20, 1855. He married Elizabeth, daughter 
of Daniel and Catharine (Hutchinson) Putnam of Brook- 
lyn, She was born Sept. 24, 1 794, and died Dec. 29, 1 844.

Feb. 12, V. Voted, That the Rev. Alexander H. Mercer of 
Philadelphia, be invited to preach in Christ Church for six 
months. 

Voted, That the Wardens be directed to communicate the 
doings of this meeting to Bishop Clark, and request him to

address Bishop Potter of Phila. on the subject of procuring 
the services of the Rev. Mr. Mercer to supply the Pulpit of 
Christ Church for six months, commencing on the first of 
March next. 

April 4. The Wardens and Vestry having been instruct- 
ed by the Parish to make diligent enquiries for some suitable 
person to be their future Rector, present the following Re- 
port : 

To the Parish of Christ Church, 

The Wardens and Vestry in accordance with a vote of 
the Parish Nov"" 9, 1854, would respectfully report. That hav- 
ing made diligent and careful enquiry, they recommend that 
the Rev. Francis L. Hawks, D.D., of New York, be elected 
Rector of this Parish at a yearly salary of Twenty-five Hun- 
dred dollars. 

The Parish on the nth appointed "a committee to 
proceed to New York and inform Dr. Hawks of his elec- 
tion." On the 19th they " reported verbally that they had 
attended to the duties assigned them, and that he declined 
the invitation to accept the Rectorship of the Parish." 
This was in accordance with the belief of most of the 
members, but they were over-persuaded by the positive- 
ness and sanguine opinions of a few. 

June 26, V. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry do 
recommend that the Rev. George Leeds of Salem, Mass., be 
elected Rector of Christ Church Parish at a yearly salary of 
Two Thousand Dollars, and that a meeting of the Parish be 
warned to be held in the Chapel on Monday the 2^' day of 
July next at 8 o'ck P. M. 

July 10, P. The Committee appointed to visit Salem 
made a very favorable report of the qualifications and ability 
of Rev. Mr. Leeds, and it was 

Voted, unanimously, That the Rev. George Leeds of 
vSalem, Mass., be, and he is hereby, invited to accept the Rec- 
torship of this Parish, at a yearly salary of Two Thousand 
Dollars.

August 7, V. A Communication from the Rev. George 
Leeds, declining the invitation to become the Rector of this 
Parish, was read and ordered placed on file. 

Mr. Leeds, after his call, came to Hartford and 
preached on one vSunday. He gave very general satis- 
faction, and it was hoped that he would remain as Rector. 
Perhaps he recognized the danger of following a very 
able man. He was, however, of such ability that he was 
fully competent to take care of himself. 

Nov. 2j, P. The report of the Wardens and Vestry 
recommending that the Rev. R. M, Abercrombie of Clifton, 
N. Y., be elected Rector of this Parish having been read, it 
was — Voted, unanimously, that the Rev. R. ]\I. Abercrombie 
be invited to accept the Rectorship of this Parish, at a yearly 
salary of Two thousand dollars. Messrs. Charles Chapman, 
Hezekiah Huntington, and James Bolter, were appointed a 
Committee to inform Mr. Abercrombie of the doings of this 
meeting, and request his acceptance of the Rectorship of this 
Parish. 

Dec"". 21, V. Voted, That hereafter upon the occasion of a 
Wedding, the consent of the Wardens be previously obtained 
before the Church will be opened, and that they have power 
to call in any assistance deemed necessary to keep order. 

The occasion of this vote was the conduct of the 
miscellaneous assemblage which sometimes was gathered 
on these occasions, which regarded neither the sacredness 
of the edifice, or the solemnity of the ceremony, or of the 
ordinary rules of behavior, which most of them would 
never have tolerated in their own dwellinofs. The license 
and rudeness were timely checked, and it is believed have 
not since occurred. 

Voted, That the letter from Mr. Abercrombie to the 
Wardens and Vestry, accepting the Rectorship, be entered 
upon records of the Parish.

Def.2i. Clifton, Dec. 12, 1855. 

To the Wardens and Vestrymen of Christ Church, 

Hartford, Ct. 

Gentlemen, Your official and friendly communication 
tendering an invitation to the Rectorship of your Parish, has 
been received, and I beg leave to reiterate the reasons 
offered to a member of your body in apology for a temporary 
delay in sending a reply. The unexpected call to a new 
sphere of such magnitude and importance in view of the 
sacred ties which knit me to my own parish, required as it 
has received, the consultation of every proper source of 
counsel in the questions involved in severing those ties, and 
assuming the responsibilities of a new position. 

Guided as I trust by the Great Head of the Church, for 
whose direction I have earnestly appealed, and after mature 
consideration, I have resolved to comply with your kind 
wishes, and offer to you and through you to the Congregation 
of Christ Church, my acceptance of the Office of Pastor 
in your important and distinguished parish. As varied 
enterprises and circumstances require my personal supervis- 
ion in this place, it will not be convenient to enter upon my 
duties in your midst, until the third day of February ensuing. 
Feeling deeply unworthy of the frank confidence you have 
manifested towards me, and regarding the important relations 
which will bind us together, I solicit earnestly your Chris- 
tian sympathy and prayers, that God may guide, guard, and 
bless me, in the execution of His will, and promotion of your 
welfare, in the favored portion of the Vineyard which you 
occupy. 

I come to you with expectations of unbounded trust, that 
the affectionate interest you have shown towards those who 
have labored among you in the past, may be extended to 
their successor, that he may with a single eye to God's glory, 
and the salvation of souls, make full proof of his ministry, 
and accomplish the work of an evangelist. In humble 
prayer that our connection may redound to the glory of God, 
and our mutual interests, I am, Gentlemen, 

Yours faithfully in bonds of extreme love, 

R. M. Abercrombie.

William H. luilay was the son of William and Mary 
Imlay, and was born in 1780. He was engaged in busi- 
ness with Charles Seymour as early as 1 800 ; and after- 
wards with Nichols & Tinker, and De Forest Manice, and 
Zephaniah Preston, and perhaps with others, at different 
periods. He was a large owner of real estate in Hartford, 
and also in New York, and Michigan. He first appears in 
our records in 1804, when he was chosen as a vestryman, 
and as Treasurer of the Parish which he held until 1 8 1 3 ; 
he was Senior Warden in 1830. He was chairman of the 
committee for building the present church, and then, and 
at different times, was liberal in contributing for parish 
purposes. He held to pretty strict ideas of economy, and 
favored the completion of the tower partly in stone, and 
partly of wood. His report fortunately was not accepted, 
but he succeeded in cutting down a proposed further 
height, as Dr. Sumner told me, of fourteen feet, for 
which he is to be thanked. The proportions are now con-

He had a very extensive knowledge of business, and 
was one of the most industrious of men. His judgment 
generally was good, but he was engaged in too many 
and diverse affairs to conduct them all successfully. He was 
supposed at one time to be the most wealthy man in town, 
and had he been content to rest with his gains, would 
have left a large fortune. He resided on Pearl street 
where the Congregational church is now located, and there 
was with the house a large garden, filled with trees and 
plants, which he probably enjoyed as much as his nature 
as an ambitious man of business would permit. He died 
September 4, 1858. 

Dec'' 8, V. Elisha Johnson and Thomas T. Fisher were

George Beach was born in Litchfield, November 30, 
1788, and came to Hartford when quite yotmg. He was 
a clerk for John Pierce, and was afterwards a partner with 
him, under the firm name of Pierce & Beach. They were 
extensively engaged in the West India trade, which was 
seriously interrupted b}^ the war with Great Britain in 
1812. When the Phoenix Bank was chartered he was 
appointed as its cashier and after the resignation of Mr. 
Sigourney was chosen as its president, w^hich position he 
held until his death, May 2, i860. He is recorded in the 
list of tax-payers, as early as 18 10, and was a member of 
the Vestry in 1 8 1 8, and often subsequently ; he was Junior 
Warden 1826, 1845, and Senior Warden 1827. His 
appointment is often recorded upon committees, and he 
appears to have taken a hearty interest in the Parish. He 
attended at St. Paul's for a few years before his death, 
partly because his hearing was somewhat impaired, and 
partly also, it is supposed, because he disliked the style of 
the music and the ways of the musicians. He was fond 
of the old tunes and the old ways, and believed that the 
plain directions of rubrics should be strictly followed. He 
was a remarkably good looking man, very striking in his 
personal appearance, tall, broad shouldered, with a healthy, 
florid countenance, even in his old age ; his abundant 
white hair gave him a noble appearance. His responses 
in the service were loud and distinct ; whatever he under- 
took, he executed with energy. He vvas three times 
married, had a large family of children, some of whom are 
still living, who, with grandchildren, are all faithful mem- 
bers of the Episcopal Church. 

Nov. 13, V. J. Watson Beach, and W. H. D. Callander, 
with such other members of the Parish as they may choose

toilsome than those in which I am now laboring, I hereby 
tender to you my resignation of this Parish, to take effect 
next Easter, unless for good reasons I shall think best that

our connection be sooner terminated. This arrangement is 
made in justice to those who renewed their obligations to the 
Parish in view of the continuance of my ministrations, and 
also that you may be allowed ample time to elect a successor. 
When after refusal, I was urged to accept your call, I 
came to labor and to teach, not with enticing words of man's 
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit. Of our mutual 
duties and work, God must be the Judge. " Our witness is 
in Heaven, our record is on high." In severing the sacred 
tie that has so long bound us, as Pastor and' People, I cannot 
but recall the kind feelings and sympathies exchanged with 
you, and express the hope that God may overrule our 
separation to his glory and your welfare. 

I am yours in Christian fellowship, 

R. M. Abercrombie. 

After reading the above by the Clerk it was 
Vo^ed, That the resignation of the Rev. R. M. Abercrom- 
bie as Rector of Christ Church Parish be and the same is 
hereby accepted, as proposed in his Communication to the 
Wardens and Vestry, bearing date June 4, 1861. 

Ocif. 7, F. The following Resolution was passed unani- 
mously. Resolved, That in separating from our present 
Rector, we unitedly render to him our highest estimation of 
his worth as a Christian Pastor, and appreciate full)^ his 
faithful and devoted ministrations among us, during a period 
of nearly six years, and we pledge ourselves that these feel- 
ings of kindness shall follow him into whatever field of duty 
Divine Providence may hereafter call him. 

Voted, That the Clerk be directed to furnish the Rev. Mr. 
Abercrombie with a notice of the action of the Parish upon 
his letter of resignation, together with a copy of the above 
resolution. 

Mr. A bcrcroDibie was a most estimable man, and labored 
faithfully in the performance of his duties. He was con- 
scientious and kind, and had that proper conception of his 
pastoral obligations that endeared him to many, and 
should have brought to him the cordial support of all. It 



404 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

was unfortunate for him that he followed a rector of 
supreme ability, most agreeable manners, and every way 
calculated to attract a crowd. It was a misfortune that 
had happened to some of his predecessors, and perhaps it 
may be said to some of his successors also. His long 
continuance in one parish afterwards showed that his 
sterling qualities were fully appreciated there. It is not 
pretended that he was driven away, for there was from all 
a kindly recognition of his many Christian qualifications, 
but no one knows better than a clergyman himself how a 
" gentle pressure " may be brought to bear upon him, 
which is quite as effectual as open opposition, and leads 
him to seek another sphere of labor. The parish may 
not always be at fault, but it should charitably consider 
that while few men are exactly alike either in mental 
qualifications, or in temper, or in following the same lines 
of duty, they may still be equally useful and deserving 
of equal esteem. The tattlers and busybodies in a parish, 
who are continually prating of the excellences of a 
former rector, saying to his successor that he did not do so 
and so, are only worthy of such a rebuke as was given to 
one of these complainers in our city some years since : 
" You please wait and see what Dr. Washburn will do." 

The amount of injury, and of real injustice also, which 
is too often rendered to some of the clergy, calls for more 
forbearance and sympathy on the part of the people than 
they frequently are willing to accord. The system of 
" calling " a pastor over a congregation is as lightly re- 
garded by some as the choosing of a captain to a military 
company, or the election of a chairman to an ordinary 
business meeting. The sacred relation which he holds to 
the people, and the commission which he bears, are but 
lightly considered, or are not considered at all in this 
most important one, which concerns equally pastor and 
people. So superficial are the inquiries frequently, and 
so little regard is paid to sound but quiet worth, that one

is led to inquire if it would not be better that these minis- 
ters of God's word should be sent rather than called. 

The Parish at this time was in debt over six thousand 
dollars, incurred mostly, if not wholly, by its spending 
annually more than it annually received. A system so 
vicious as this is sure to bring trouble in the future. The 
danger of it was recognized, but the true remedy was not 
applied. Notwithstanding the anxiety and annoyance 
which it occasioned, and which was felt, the system was 
pursued for some years further before retrenchment was 
brought about and the debt was paid. Then the Parish 
resolved to live within its means in the future, and for a 
few years succeeded in doing so. 

Dec\ id^, V. Mr. Adams read a letter from Mr. S. Nott,

For some time before his death he was unable to leave

partnership was dissolved March 7, 1821, and he con- 
ducted the business alone — the wholesale drv goods busi- 
ness — until he retired about 1830. 

Few members of the Parish have been connected with 
it so long, and have filled so many of its offices, and have 
performed their duties as faithfully and lovingly as Mr. 
Tudor. Perhaps he was a churchman when he came to 
Hartford, and may have been led into the Episcopal com- 
munion by his acquaintance with the Episcopalians of 
his native town. These were scattered over the state, 
especially in the south and west, before the Revolution, 
though the disturbing conditions bore more heavily upon 
us than upon others throughout this war. However, the 
catholic faith had not died out, and there were to be found 
considerable bodies in a few places, and here and there 
individuals, whose love for the Prayer Book and the good 
old ways of their fathers in England was still living and 
strong. Some of them were in East Windsor. Dr. Elihu 
Tudor was one of them ; he w^as in the receipt of a pen- 
sion from the British government for his services in the 
war with France, and more especially for those in the ill- 
fated expedition to The Havana. A suspicion that his 
loyalty to the mother country was greater than his loyalty 
for his native land led to his being closely watched and 
sometimes threatened. Perhaps from his uncle, Mr. Tudor 
received his knowledge of the church and love for her 
ways. Dr. Tudor must have had a kind and benevolent 
disposition, when such a man as Rev. Thomas Robbins 
would participate in the cheer of his Christmas board and 
show to him his neighborly affection. It is very likely 
there were not a few such instances as this of Dr. Tudor, 
centers of faith and loving remembrance, whose light 
was obscured for a time, but burst again into flame upon 
returning peace. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 407 

Mr. Tudor seems to have had no desire for " political 
preferment," as it is now termed. Though his opinions 
were very decided, and he had no hesitation in expressing 
them whenever necessary, yet he had a proper sense of 
propriety in not making them a chief topic of conversa- 
tion. His attachment to the old Federal party might nat- 
urally be expected, and to its later numerous appellations 
and modifications, but I doubt if he was ever worried or 
disturbed in a night's sleep by any defeats which it expe- 
rienced. The very fact that he had no strong political 
desires, but attended to his own business, is proof enough 
of this. He was, and continued to be successful as a mer- 
chant, buying largely at home and abroad, just before 
and immediately after the declaration of war with Great 
Britain in 181 2. This foresight was very profitable to 
him, and is said to have greatly increased his fortune. 
With a laudable ambition and perseverance, he pursued 
his mercantile career without a failure, and retired from 
business having secured a competency sufhcient for the 
remainder of his life. But he did not hoard what he had 
gained ; he spent liberally both in his family, his parish, 
and as a good citizen. I do not think it was spent grudg- 
ingly, or of necessity, but as a cheerful giver. A friend, 
speaking of him within a few days, said, " I do not think 
that his income was ever more than six or seven thousand 
dollars a year, but he lived like a prince ; no one would 
think of living now as he did, unless he had an income of 
three times this amount." His life was a success ; he 
had two children, and a most intelligent, amiable, and 
loving wife. Her influence upon him modified or di- 
verted whatever of irritability there might have been in 
his original temper. It strengthened and confirmed his 
naturally good instincts, and added greatly to a grand 
conception of an artistic sense, which made life beautiful 
and home a happy place. 

It is especially with Mr. Tudor's connection with 
Christ Church that we have to speak. His name is first

found when he was chosen vestryman in 1 803 ; and he 
was a continuous member of the vestry, either as warden 
or vestryman — except in 1840 — until 1850, a period of 
forty-seven years. He was extremely devoted to the 
interests of the Parish, serving often and faithfully upon 
many committees, contributing generously of his sub- 
stance, and showing in many and diverse ways how much 
love he had for the Church. He was prompt and constant 
in attendance upon her services, requiring his children 
and grandchildren to be present with him also. Nor 
did he neglect those family devotions which are incum- 
bent upon all of us, but it is feared are neglected by 
too many. He seemed never to tire with his religious 
duties, but believed in them, and lived up to them with 
a constancy which was unfailing. 

He was early and for a long time a director in the 
Phoenix Bank, a trustee of Trinity College, in which he 
early took much interest ; often he was sent as a delegate 
to the Diocesan Convention : in whatever he was engaged 
he was in earnest. His early education, I suppose, was 
not extensive, but his natural abilities were good, and he 
had that wise perception not given to all men, in know- 
ing that he was firm only on ground with which he was 
acquainted. He had an excellent knowledge and great 
love of music, and his judgment was not often questioned. 
After the introduction of some new tunes and chants, a 
parishioner one day said to him, " I don't understand this 
new music which you are giving us, Mr. Tudor." " You 

are not up to it, Mr. ," he replied, " not up to it ; " and 

that was the end of the interrogation. If there was any 
subject upon which he would not bear contradiction, it 
was this one. 

The Parish owes him a debt of gratitude for his ser- 
vices on the committee for building the present church. 
Here he was indefatigable ; here his fine taste, his correct 
judgment, his acquaintance with what was becoming and 
orderly, and his knowledge of honest work, were invalua-

ble. Mr. Wheaton found in him a sympatlietic sup- 
porter. 

He had an extensive acquaintance with the clergy, and 
his hospitable doors were ever open to them ; here they 
found a kindly greeting and a cheerful board. Mr. Wain- 
wright, the Rector, lived with him for some time, and 
when his sermons were finished, not often before eleven 
o'clock on Saturda}^ night, Mrs. Tudor would be prepared 
with something refreshing for his comfort, before retir- 
ing. His social disposition made him fond of company, 
and led to an extensive acquaintance. Perhaps there has 
been no one in the Parish who was better known, more 
prominent and useful, than Mr. Tudor. In its early 
history John Morgan was a foremost leader, capable and 
willing. He was engaged extensively in trade, and had 
that pecuniary ability which is said to enforce one's 
opinions ; if he had any prejudices he did not attempt 
to conceal them ; he was bold and bluff, but warm at 
heart. He was a Churchman, because he believed in 
the Church, and possibly also because he did not believe 
in Congregationalism. He was ardent as a supporter, 
generous, dogmatic, well-fitted to command. But Mr. 
Tudor possessed more gracefulness, more persuasiveness, 
more command of himself, and equal independence ; he 
was well-fitted to direct. 

There was connected with his home. No. 471, Main 
street, quite an amount of land, much beyond that usually 
found in the center of an old city ; it extended in the rear 
even to Church street. Here he had a fine vegetable 
garden, an icehouse, a greenhouse, and an ornamental 
garden filled with trees and shrubs and flowering plants. 
It is reported that he was the first person in the city who 
owned a private greenhouse. His fine taste here displayed 
itself in the cultivation of beautiful plants and desirable 
fruits ; the grounds were so extensive that they gave full 
play to his aesthetic sense. In his later years he could be

found on every fair morning' enjoying the fresh air, the 
perfume of his flowers, the growth and beauty of his trees, 
and the abundance of Ms fruits. He was pleased often to 
repeat what had been told him by the elder Dr. Beresford, 
" These, Mr. Tudor, are adding to the number of your 
days." So celebrated was his garden that it was considered 
one of the show places of the city, and he was very willing 
that it should be opened to the public, but grumbled 
occasionally, as was very proper, when the visitors did not 
refrain from picking his flowers or plucking his fruit. If 
we did not take our country friends to visit it, in connec- 
tion with the Charter Oak, the Asylum for the Deaf 
and Dumb, and Mr. Sigourney's residence, it was 
considered that we had failed in our duty. 

He was always a good looking man, and must have been 
handsome when young ; he dressed well and neatly, even 
in his old age, which cannot always be said of those who 
have come to four score years or more. My neighborly 
acquaintance with him for a long time may have led to 
the length of this sketch of one who was a true friend of 
our Parish, whose conceptions of duty were strong, who 
had so much Christian faith and so much human philoso- 
phy that he endeavored to enjoy with thankfulness the 
blessings of this life, and bear with resignation those 
trials and aftiictions which come to all of us. ■

April 21. An adjourned meeting of the Parish was held 
at the Chapel on Easter Monday, the 21st inst., Mr. Benton 
in the Chair. 

The Committee appointed to confer with Dr. Butler re- 
ported that they had received a letter from him declining 
the invitation to accept the Rectorship of this Parish, and 
the Clerk was directed to enter the same upon the records. 

Philadelphia, April 14, 1862. 
Dr. Sir. 

As I am conscious that a long delay in announcing my 
decision after it is made, may be injurious to the interests 
of your Parish, and as the question seemed at last [to] turn 
on a single point, which is now clear to my mind, I hasten to 
advise you that I feel constrained to decline the gratifying 
call which you and Mr. Beach have so kindly conveyed to 
me from Christ Church, Hartford. 

My wife's former Physician in Washington and her pres- 
ent Physician here, emphatically give it as their decided 
opinion, that a residence in Hartford would be likely to de- 
velope her constitutional tendency — now aggravated, to 
bronchial and pulmonary disease. 

Her health has been wretched for some time past, and if 
the state of the country permitted it, I should seek a settle- 
ment in a more southern climate. When you were here I 
was not conscious of the now evident change that has come 
over her ; but her recent feebleness, and the Physician's ex- 
amination of her lungs, have brought me to the decided 
conviction that if possible, I must avoid 'a residence in a 
climate more rigorous than this. 

Trusting that the great head of the Church may send 
you soon a Pastor with fresher energies, and higher powers 
to serve you than I could have brought, 
I remain, very truly. 

Your obedient servant, 

C. M. Butler.

no expectation of ever returning to my former position ; 
and my desire has been to identify myself with a Northern

Your sympathy — your kindly welcome leave not a doubt 
upon my mind. I trust — I pray — that God will bless us 
in our new relation. To me, this Chancel has peculiar in-

that pulpit. This place is therefore dear to me, but far more 
precious will it be, if I can rightly discharge my obligations,

permitted to see within these walls a united, an active, a 
charitable, and a loving people.

subscription should amount to $8,500 including the value of 
the old bell. Mr. Hoadly was added to the Committee on 
bells, in the room of Mr. Bolter removed to Trinity Parish. 

This is the first mention that we have upon our records 
of the organization of Trinity Parish, though the formation 
of it was commenced in 1859. The need for Church ac- 
commodation in the western part of the city was certainly 
great, for the population in that section was rapidly in- 
creasing. This movement was never brought before our 
Parish officially but arose from the concerted action of 
individuals residing there. Though it took from Christ 
Church some of its oldest and most valued members, it was 
never seriously objected to, but was regarded as a wise and 
necessary movement. It was regarded as a measure which 
could not be stopped, or obstructed, and the result has 
proven it was well undertaken. The erection of new 
buildings and the increase of the population has been far 
beyond the anticipations of any one. The prospects of 
Trinity Parish in the future are very great, and it must 
become the most flourishing of the Episcopal parishes in 
the town. It seems very proper in recording the history of 
Christ Church, that these words should be said, and that 
further mention should be made of the very beginnings of 
this new Parish, which I have been permitted to copy from 
its Records.

The Rector, the Junior Warden, and the Clerk were re-

which were imanimously adopted, viz.: 

Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God to take to himself 
in a good old age, our late Diocesan, the Right Reverend 
Thomas Church Brownell, D.D., LL.D., Presiding Bishop of 
the Church in the United States, sometime Rector of this 
Parish. 

Resolved, That we tender to the family of the deceased our 
heartfelt sympathy in this bereavement, which they suffer 
only more immediately than the Church at large. 

Resolved, That we shall ever cherish the memory of those 
untiring labors and wise counsels of the late Bishop, through 
which the Church in this Diocese has so largely increased, 
and has enjoyed so much harmony during his Episcopate, 
and by which he has fully redeemed the promise made by 
him to the Convention of the Diocese at the time of his con- 
secration, more than forty-five years ago, that he would " en- 
deavor to imitate that prudence and zeal which characterized 
the earliest Bishop of this Diocese, and of this country ; and 
to cultivate those virtues which distinguished his immediate 
successor." 

Resolved, That we will attend his funeral in a body, with 

the usual badge of mourning.

Nov. 2j, V. It was proposed by some of the friends of 
the late Rev. Dr. N. S. Wheaton, to place a tablet to his 
memory in the church, but nothing came from it. How- 
ever, a few years later, he was remembered by the fine 
window in the chancel. 

At this same meeting " C. H. Northam and Z. Preston

of a suitable tablet to the memory of the late Bishop 
Brownell." This led to an enquiry and some correspond- 
ence, but the matter was finally dropped.

debt of the said Parish, and procuring a new bell, provided

April 2, F. The Wardens and Vestry were authorized, if 
in their judgment deemed expedient, to employ an Assistant 
to the Rector, at a salary not exceeding $800. 

A reference to the votes of December, 18 19, will show 
that Rev. Mr. Wainwright had resigned as rector, and 
that Bishop Brownell had accepted the rectorship of the 
Parish, upon the promise of an assistant. Rev. N. S. 
Wheaton was chosen, and continued as " Assistant Rector " 
until the Bishop resigned, Nov. 11, 1820, in consequence 
of the Diocese requiring his exclusive services. The ap- 
pointment of Mr. Wheaton was due to temporary causes, 
but he may be considered as the first assistant which the 
Parish ever had, a precedent which was not followed until 
after the pa.ssage of the vote of April 2, 1866. In June, 
the 19th, the Vestry Voted, that "the Wardens and Mr. 
Preston be appointed a committee with power to engage 
Rev. Robert Meech as an assistant minister of this Parish," 
who thus became a necessary official in the extended and 
useful work deemed important. 

May 21, V. The following preamble and resolutions were 
unanimously adopted.

had holden for thirteen years, endearing himself by his 
devotion and consistent Christian example not only to the 
members of this Parish but to the community around us — 
Therefore, 

Resolved, That while we bow with submission to this 
decree of Divine Providence, we cannot but mourn the loss 
of one so deeply beloved, not only by this Parish and com- 
munity, but by the Church at large. 

Resolved, That we tender to the family and friends of the 
deceased, our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of their 
bereavement, and hope they may receive such consolation as 
cometh from faith and trust in Him who doeth all things 
well. 

The above was ordered to be entered on the records, 
and a copy to be sent to the widow of the deceased 
Bishop, and Bishop Clark was requested to deliver in the 
Church a commemorative discourse of the late Bishop. 

Ebeiiczcr Floivcr, the son of Timothy Flower, was born 
at Feeding Hills, West Springfield, Mass., Sept. 3, 1787, 
but his name first appears on our records in 1829, when he 
was chosen as one of the Vestry. He followed the occu- 
pation of a navigator, and soon became well known as the 
Captain of the schooner Ami, named for his wife. He 
was chiefly engaged in coasting, but made several voyages 
to the West Indies, as nearly as can be ascertained. In 
those early days, when the Connecticut river was the 
great line for our traffic, the captains of our sloops and 
schooners were men of importance, and were often 
employed in making purchases and in the selling of 
products. A mere knowledge of navigation was not 
considered as an only and sufficient qualification, but a 
man must be the possessor of good sense, prudence, and a 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 42 1 

general acquaintance with business. These were found 
in Captain Flower, whose reputation as an honest and 
careful man was well established. In his trips to New 
York, Boston, and other places, he was intrusted with the 
purchase of sugar, molasses, rum, and other goods, as 
willingly and confidently as if he had been a partner in 
the business. 

A friend who made a trip with him to Boston in the 
schooner Ann has given me some of the details of the 
voyage, and especially the points which characterized 
him, and mark his excessive prudence. After leaving the 
river, there were some indications of a storm, and he put 
into New London ; starting the next day, but fearing the 
strong winds, he found a safe shelter at Newport. Putting 
out once more the troublesome sea drove him into 
Buzzards Bay. There was no further stoppage until his 
arrival at Boston, where the sea-rig was laid aside and 
Captain Flower appeared as a well-dressed gentleman, and 
went ashore, ready to transact business. 

He possessed in an eminent degree good solid sense ; 
was kind, good natured, and not inclined to talk more than 
was necessary. He was a sincere Christian, recognizing 
his duties and discharging his obligations faithfully. He 
was liberal in his contributions for church purposes, and 
for those also which so frequently occur in any town. He 
was extremely methodical, made an inventory of his 
estate every year, as I have been told, and kept an exact 
account of his expenditures also. From these it is now 
seen what sums were frequently given in charity, the 
charge being simply " for charity " one dollar, or three, or 
five dollars, or whatever it might be. Copies of some of 
the letters which he addressed to his friends, who were 
neglectful of their duties, or had fallen into bad habits, 
show what solicitude he had for their welfare, and the 
tender manner he had of expressing it. 

During the latter part of his life he was in the coal

business, under the firm name of H. Brainard & Co. He 
was a member of the Vestry, 1829, '30, '31, '42, '43, '44, '45, 
'56 ; and Junior Warden, 1 846, '47, '48, '49. He was married 
to Ann Granger of Feeding Hills, who survived him until 
April 15, 1867 ; it was especially noted with what affection 
he always regarded her. He was Mayor of the City for 
two terms, 1851 and 1852. He died September 4, 1866.

Resignation of Dr. Clark. 

March 11, Hartford, March i, 1867. 

To the Wardens and Vestrymen of Christ Church. 

Gentlemen, I tender to you my resignation of the rector- 
ship of Christ Church Parish. 

After a ministry of nearly five years among a people who 
have given to me their confidence, and to whom my attach- 
ments are strong, it is painful to take this step ; but both my 
body and mind require such recuperation as cannot be 
secured while I am in the discharge of duty in so large a 
Parish. 

My connection with Christ Church has been exceedingly 
pleasant, and only for the reason stated should I propose to 
withdraw from it. 

If agreeable to you this resignation shall take effect on 
the first of June. 

I am, Gentlemen, 

Very truly_ yours, 

George H. Clark. 

March 22, P. The resignation of the Rector was read, 
and upon the motion of Mr. Preston, the following Preamble 
and Resolutions were adopted : 

Whereas., the Rev. George H. Clark, D.D., through the 
Wardens and Vestry, has tendered his resignation of the 
Rectorship of this Parish, to take effect on the first day of 
June next, on account of his ill health, and great nervous 
debility, and the Wardens and Vestry by a committee having 
requested Dr. Clark to withdraw his resignation, which he 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 423 

has declined to do. Therefore Resolved, That while we regret 
the necessity which induces the severance of the connection 
between himself and this Parish, which has so happily existed 
for the last five years, we reluctantly acknowledge the 
Providential issue, and accept his resignation. 

Resolved, That we tender to the Rev. Dr. Clark our 
affectionate regard and sincere wishes for his personal wel- 
fare, and trust the relaxation he seeks may be the means of 
restoring him to perfect health. 

Resolved, That we shall ever hold in grateful remem- 
brance the acceptable manner in which he has performed 
his duties while Rector of the Parish. 

May 16, P. It was Voted unanimously, that with the con- 
sent and approbation of the Bishop of this Diocese, the Rev. 
Robert Meech be invited to accept the Rectorship of this 
Parish, to succeed the Rev. Dr. Clark. 

The Wardens were appointed to wait upon Mr. Meech, 
and request his acceptance of the Rectorship, and they were 
also authorized to employ, at the request of Mr. Meech, 
such assistance as may be necessary. 

June i§, V. The following letter from Mr. Meech was 
read, — 
To the AVardens of Christ Church, Hartford, Conn. 

Gentlemen, I acknowledge the recpt. of an attested copy 
of a vote and resolutions adopted at the recent Parish meet- 
ing of May 16, by wh. I was declared to be unanimously 

« 

chosen as Rector to succeed the Rev. Dr. Clark. I also 
acknowledge the recpt. at your hands of invitation to accept 
such position, made by you in pursuance of the vote and 
resolutions of the aforesaid Parish meeting. Allow me 
through you, to express to the members of the Parish my 
grateful acknowledgments of kindness and consideration 
shown towards me, not only in this very complimentary 
action, but also in nuinberless other ways, during the period 
of my connection with the Parish. I should greatly desire to 
retain my connection with a congregation in wh. I seem to

have found so many friends, if I were well persuaded that my 
stay wd. be of advantage both to them and me in carrying 
forward the work of our blessed Lord. 

After a somewhat careful consideration of the whole 
matter however, I have decided to ask you to allow me to 
postpone any absolute and final action. I am willing, if it be 
agreeable to the Parish, to take charge as temporary Rector, 
for a period of several months, to the next Advent, or Christ- 
mas season, if desired. At that time, if I have proven my- 
self equal to the task imposed upon me, both in the opinion 
of the Parish and in my own, I may be disposed to render a 
formal and absolute acceptance. The experience of the in- 
tervening months will demonstrate whether such will be the 
wisest and best action, both for you and me, and my notions 
of duty will be clearer and more decided than they now are. 

You will rightly attribute my hesitancy to my own pain- 
ful consciousness of a very limited experience in both minis- 
terial and pastoral work, and to a fear lest I sh'' hereafter be 
found inadequate to the position assumed, and not to any 
want of confidence in the Parish, or lack of desire to be thus 
honorably connected with its members. 

I am Gentlemen, 

Yrs. very Respectfully, 

R. Meech.

Voted, That the vSenior Warden be requested to notify the 
Rev. Mr. Meech that his letter is received and that the 
Wardens and Vestry accept his proposition to take charge of 
the Parish agreeably to the terms stated in said letter. 

A proposition was made by Mr. Gordon W. Burnham 
to present a marble bust of the late Bishop Brownell, to 
the Parish, upon certain conditions, which were not 
carried out, and the bust was returned to him, according 
to his request. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 425 

Mr. Meecli informed the Vestry that Mrs. William 
Mather offers to present a lot of land in the northern part 
of the city, that a chapel may be erected thereon. This 
was a lot from the southwest part of her home lot, and it 
was — 

Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry thankfully receive 
the offer made by Mrs. Mather, and will advise the accept- 
ance thereof by the Parish. 

1868. 

Feb. 20, V. The following' letter from Mr. Meech was read. 
To the Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hartford, Conn. 

Gentlemen, the time granted me for considering the call 
of the Parish of Christ Church to become its Rector having 
now expired, and no intimation of any change of purpose or 
desire on the part either of yourselves, or the Parish, having 
been received by me, I hereby declare my acceptance of the 
said call, and my willingness to become y"" Rector from this 
date. 

In accepting I do not disguise from myself that I am 
assuming a position of much responsibility and difficulty, and 
for which there may well be a question as to my fitness. 
But the kind assurance of sympathy and forbearance which I 
have rec"^ from many individuals in the Parish, the desire of 
my Bishop, and my own inclination to retain my home among 
you, encourage me to undertake the duties which the call 
lays upon me. Above all, I look for help to my Divine 
Master the great Head of the Church and trust that according 
to my day so will he make my strength to be. 

Praying that the step I now take may be blessed of GOD 

to the welfare of the Parish, and of the Church at large, and 

that I may ever retain your esteem and confidence, I remain.

A proposition which had been made by Wm. W, 
Roberts, June 19, 1866, for the purchase of a strip of land 
belonging to the Parish, had been considered at various 
times, without any agreement as to terms. This was in 
the rear of the Chapel, south of the south line of the lot 
on which the church stands, continued westward. 

April 27, At an adjourned special meeting of the Parish 
Mr. Adams made a verbal statement, and after some discus- 
sion, it was — 

Voted, That the Wardens be authorized and instructed to 
sell and convey to William W. Roberts, a piece of land in the 
rear of the Chapel, south of the south line of the lot on which 
the Church stands continued westward, and also a privilege 
in the gangway, upon such terms and conditions as the com- 
mittee appointed to confer with said Roberts at the last 
Parish meeting, or a majority of them, shall consider for the 
best interest of the Parish. 

Provided, That the price to be paid by the said Roberts 
shall not be less than $1,000. 

" There was some discussion, but no action taken, with 
reference to the terms of sale of the land, May 22, 1869." 
A mention is made of this matter April 20, 1 871, when the 
Wardens with Mr. Davis and the Clerk were instructed to

make a settlement with William W. Roberts. Nothing 

further appears upon the records concerning it. By the 

Treasurer's book it appears that on August 12, 1874, Mr. 

Roberts paid to him the sum of $1,500 presumably for this 

land. 

1869. 

Jan. 21, V. Mr. Meech made some remarks upon 
church work in his opinion desirable to be accomplished, 
especially in the direction of inissionary efforts in the 
northern part of the city ; and upon motion, Mr. Dickinson, 
Mr. Burr, and Mr. Meech were appointed a committee to 
wait on Mrs. Mather in reference to the Chapel proposed 
to be built on the land donated by her. Mr. Dickinson 
reported that Mrs. Mather is willing to waive the restric- 
tion relative to the material of which the Chapel is to be 
built. On the 17th of March, Mr. Ellis submitted a plan 
for a Chapel, and Alessrs. Carter, Dickinson, Burr, and 
Case were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions 
to raise funds to build a Chapel on the Mather lot. 

At this meeting, Mr. Goodridge resigned the position 
of Assistant Minister, to take effect on the coming Easter. 

March 2j. Mr. Meech brought to the notice of the 
Vestry a Resolution of the Low^er House of the General 
Convention of 1868, relative to the sale or leasing of seats 
in churches ; wdien it was 

Vofed, That the seats be assessed for a sufficient sum to 
cover the ordinary expenses of the Parish. * 

April 12. Mr. Adams and Mr. Farnham reported 
verbally the result of a conference they had had with Mr. 
Meech. 

The resignation of Mr. Goodridge was accepted, and 
the following resolutions offered by Mr. Preston were 
adopted unanimously: 

Whereas^ The Rev. Edward Goodridge has resigned the 
position of Assistant Minister of Christ Church, Hartford, 
and his resignation has been accepted,— although we shall

deeply feel his loss, we cannot but appreciate his motives ; 
therefore, 

Resolved, That the Rev. Mr. Goodridge has filled his posi- 
tion in the Parish and Sunday School during the past year to 
the entire satisfaction of the congregation. 

Resolved, That he has our heartfelt wishes and prayers 
that the blessing of God may rest on him and his family, and 
that his labors in future may be crowned with success. 

The condition of the Chapel was now requiring atten- 
tion ; if the expense of the repairs were estimated at over 
two thousand dollars, a special meeting of the Parish was 
to be called. 

Jitne 21, V. Voted, That the Wardens be authorized to em- 
ploy Mr. Charles H. B. Tremaine as Assistant Minister of the 
Parish, until Easter next, provided it is acceptable to Mr. 
Meech, at a salary not exceeding the rate of one thousand 
dollars per annum. 

Isaac Toucey was born at Newtown, November 5, 1796, 
and died July 30, 1869. He married Catharine, daughter 
of Cyprian Nichols, October 28, 1827. She died August 
13, 1 87 1, aged 69 years; a most estimable lady, possess- 
ing in a high degree the gentle disposition and amiable 
manners of both her parents. The name of Mr. Toucey 
first occurs on our records in a subscription " for warming 
the Church," in 18 14. He commenced the practice of law 
in Hartford in 18 18, and was state's attorney from 1822 to 
1835. He once told me that he rarely failed to convict 
an offender against whom he brought an action, which, 
while good evidence of his judgment and ingenuity, 
shows that the juries in those days were conscientious 
and in favor of executing the law. He was member of 
Congress from this district for four years ; was Governor 
of the state in 1 846 ; attorney-general under Mr. Polk ; 
member of the Senate of the United States in 1851 for 
six years, and Secretary of the Navy in the administra- 
tion of Mr. Buchanan. He was for many years a member

of the vestry, and was senior warden in 1850, often served 
upon committees, and was quite interested in Parish mat- 
ters. He was also a trustee of Trinity College and a 
liberal benefactor of that institution.

July 7. The following minute was unanimously adopted : 
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God suddenly to re- 
move our Senior Warden, Chester Adams, who has been 
identified with the interests of this Parish for many years, 
and has held the office of Vestryman or Warden since 
1853, 

We desire in this manner to express, and leave upon 
record, a testimonial of our high appreciation of his charac- 
ter as a man and a christian, and to tender our heartfelt 
sympathy to his bereaved family. 

St. TJioinas Parish was organized July 21, 1870, and the

found in our records no mention of the establishment of 
St. Thomas Parish. There was, however, no ill feeling 
connected with it, and many of our members contributed 
to the erection of its church. 

1871. 

April 10, P. Mr. Tremaine was requested to remain 
another year, and the Wardens were authorized to make ar- 
rangements for such temporary assistance to Mr. Meech as 
may be needed in case Mr. Tremaine declined. 

Oct. 28. Voted, That the Rector be requested to hold the 
week day services in the Chapel, instead of in the Church. 

Voted, That the ringing of the bell be dispensed with for 
the ordinary week day services. 

This led to a remonstrance from the rector, and after 
further discussion and considerable delay the vote con- 
cerning the ringing of the bell " was rescinded " February 
7, 1874, and very properly too. 

1872. 

April I, P. Voted, That in the opinion of this meeting, it 
is not expedient that the expenses of the Parish should ex- 
ceed its income. 

At this time the condition of the Parish was not at all 
satisfactory ; a number of the old and wealthy members 
had died ; some had united in establishing the parishes 
of Trinity and St. Thomas ; the debt was annually in- 
creasing, and for reasons which ought not to have existed 
there was not a cordial support of the rector. In such 
cases his work is very much hindered, and however well 
performed, his ministrations fall far .short of their true 
value. By the above vote it is shown that the Parish was . 
beginning to realize its true condition, but it did not have 
the courage to curtail its expenses. It went on in the 
same reckless way for a short time longer, until absolute 
necessity rendered a change necessary.

April 6. The following communication from the Rector 
was received : 
To the members of the Parish of Christ Church. 

My dear friends. The Bishop of the Diocese has given me 
his ofhcial counsel and judgment that I ought to resign my 
rectorship among you. I hereby comply wath the same, and 
return to you the trust received from you nearly seven years 
since. Faithfully y' brother in Christ, 

RoBT. Meech. 
Easter Even, 1874. 

The resignation of the rectorship by Rev. Mr. Meech 
was accepted, and thereupon it was 

Unanimously Resolved, That in accepting the resignation of 
the Reverend Robert Meech, we desire to express our con- 
viction that while Rector of this Parish he has faithfully and 
conscientiously endeavored to do his whole duty ; and that he 
has our best wishes for his future welfare and happiness. 

April 20. On motion Charles H. Northam, Gurdon W. 
Russell, George Beach, Charles Benton, Wm. F. Tuttle, and 
David T. Lanman, were appointed a committee to consider 
the financial condition of the Parish, and to report at a future 
meeting. 

April 20, P. It having come to the knowledge of this 
Parish, that a union of several parishes in this city has been 
proposed, therefore, 

Resolved, That Gurdon W. Russell, Flavins A. Brown, and 
George Beach, be appointed a committee from this Parish, to 



432 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

confer with any other committees appointed for the above 
purpose, and report to a future meeting'. 

May 4. The report of the committee on finance was read 
by Col. Northam, and is as follows : 

The committee to whom was referred the financial condi- 
tion of the Parish, beg leave to report, — 

That from a statement furnished them, they find the 
present indebtedness of the Parish to be $18,290, seven 
thousand of which is funded, leaving a balance of floating 
debt of about $11,300. There is due from Mr. Roberts $1,000 
and interest, for land upon which his Opera House now 
stands, which may or may not be available. 

To continue as we are, carrying this floating debt, would 
result in great embarrassment to the officers of the Parish, 
and affect injuriously its prestige and prospects. 

To fund the whole debt of that loan, would entail upon 
the Parish a large annual tax for interest, and continue to 
add to its embarrassment, and discourage new accessions 
besides entailing upon our successors of a future generation, 
a debt which properly belongs to the present to pay. 

The committee therefore, in view of the whole siibject, 
unanimously recommend, that the Parish continue the present 
funded debt of $7,000, for the present, and that an effort be 
made to obtain by subscription among the members of the 
Parish, a sum sufficient to pay the floating debt, say about 
$11,000. The committee believe that by a united and gener- 
ous effort this can be accomplished. 

Pr. order, C. H. Northam, 

C/iairiiia/i. 

The item here called " funded debt " was the sum bor- 
rowed from the " Niles Fund." 

There was included in this indebtedness of the Parish, 
with interest, about $2,500, to the rector, and perhaps some 
other items of expenses remaining unpaid for the last 
year. By great exertions the whole debt was paid in 1 876 
by comparatively few persons. This matter is alluded to 
in the " Report of a committee on the funds of the 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 433 

Parish," p. 120, where it is said, " It was reserved to a later 
day, when an indebtedness of nearly the same sum had 
been incurred, and when the Parish was much reduced in 
numbers, to pay off all the obligations resting upon it, 
and to make it what it had never, or certainly for many 
years had been, entirely free from debt." 

Resolved, That Messrs. Charles H. Northam, George 
Beach, Flavius A. Brown, Gurdon W. Russell, David T. Lan- 
man, William L. Matson, and Lorenzo B. Goodman be ap- 
pointed to obtain subscriptions to discharge the floating debt 
of the Parish. 

Dr. Russell made a verbal report as to a project of union 
of parishes; and upon motion the committee was continued. 

Oct. J, V. The wardens were advised to place the Parish 
temporarily under the charge of Rev. Professor John T. 
Huntington. 

1875. 

March 2p, P. The report of the committee appointed at 
a Parish meeting. May 4, 1874, was read, accepted, and or- 
dered on file. 

Said report is as follows : 

The committee appointed at a Parish meeting in May 
last on the finances of the Parish beg leave to report: That 
in pursuance of a vote of the Parish, subscriptions were ob- 
tained from individual members of the Parish amounting to 
11,021 dollars, and under direction and on the order of 
the Warden 7,588.89 dollars have been paid in liquidation of 
debts. The committee believe the balance of said subscrip- 
tion will be soon collected. 

C. H, Northam, Chairman. 

Voted, That Charles H. Northam be appointed as trustee 
to receive all the unexpended funds derived from the sub- 
scription for liquidating the floating debt of the Parish, 
which funds shall be held for the purpose of paying the 
mortgage debt, now amounting to $7,000, and that he also 
receive and properly invest these funds and such other as

Sinking Fund of the Parish. 

Voted, That a sum not to exceed one thousand dollars be 
appropriated for music for the year ensuing, to be distributed 
among the organist and choir in such manner as shall be 
satisfactory to them and the committee on music. 

A retrenchment had now commenced, the amount for 
several years previous having been two thousand dollars 
per annum. 

Subscription for the payment of the Floating Debt. 

The undersigned agree to pay the sums affixed to their 
names, for the purpose of liquidating the Floating Debt of the 
Parish of Christ Church. 

These subscriptions not to be binding until the sum of 
Eleven Thousand Dollars be subscribed. One half of the 
subscription shall be due, and paid on the fifteenth of June, 
and the remainder on the fifteenth of October next. 

The amount remaining due and unpaid, is to be settled 
by a note, satisfactory to the Treasurer of the Parish.

suitably affixed to the inner wall of the Church in a proper 
place. 

1877. 

March 26, P. The committee appointed by the Vestry, 
January 22'', 1876, to recommend a clergyman to the Parish 
as Rector, made through D". Russell a verbal report, and 
presented the names of Rev. B. Judkins, of Windsor, and 
Rev. W. F. Nichols, of West Hartford, for the consideration 
of the Parish. 

The report of the committee was taken into considera- 
tion by the meeting, and after two informal ballotings, a 
formal vote was taken, when it appeared that with the 
exception of one blank the Rev. William F. Nichols was 
unanimously elected. 

Voted, That with the consent and approbation of the 
Bishop of this Diocese, the Rev. William F. Nichols be 
invited to accept the Rectorship of this Parish. 

Voted, That hereafter the music of the Church be regu- 
lated in accordance with Section II, Canon 23, Title I, of the 
Digest. 

April 2. Mr. Henry Wilson, the organist, had on the 
17th of March resigned the position which he had so 
long and acceptably held, whereupon it was by the Parish 

Resolved, That this Parish hereby tender to Mr. Henry 
Wilson, on the occasion of his resignation of the position of 
Organist in this Church, their grateful thanks for the able 
manner in which, for twenty-two years, he has fulfilled the 
duties of the place. 

Recognizing how much of the pleasure derived by the 
congregation of this Church from its services, has during this 
long period been due to his exertions, we wish to express to 
him our desire, that in the new field on which he is entering, 
his relations may be as pleasant with the parish, and as well 
appreciated as they have been here. 



438 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

We further wish to record our thanks to all the members 
of the choir now leaving us, and especially to Messrs. Wander, 
and Gundlach, who have all these years so faithfully assisted 
Mr. Wilson. 

About Henry Wilson. 

Christ Church never had so finely an organized or 
skillful a choir as that which was formed under the super- 
intendence of Mr. Wilson. To say that it became 
" famous " is but to state the general opinion of all. It 
was not that it excelled in the minute technique of the 
profession alone, appreciated only perhaps, by those 
equally skilled in music, but it w^as appreciated and ap- 
proved by all those who were desirous of a reverent wor- 
ship, and believed that the best talent was none too good 
in singing the praises and glory of our Redeemer. Mr. 
Wilson especially excelled in expressing the holy spirit 
of song, and carried his listeners with him in heart, if 
not in voice, through all the services in which the choir 
was engaged. The quartette was composed of Mr. Wil- 
liam Wander, Mr. Louis Gundlach, Mrs. Lucy Rogers, 
and Mrs. George L. Wilson ; they were aided by a chorus 
of different persons, among them Mr. Maercklein, who 
were all of them very valuable assistants. The cost of 
this was considerable, for the Parish voted annually the 
sum of two thousand dollars for its support, but this was 
supplemented by subscriptions of nearly half of this 
amount. 

There came a time, however, in the history of the 
Parish when this could no longer be borne. The forma- 
tion of other parishes, the deaths of some of the princi- 
pal members, and the removal of others, had so reduced 
the number that the expense could no longer be incurred ; 
and so the dissolution of the choir became necessary, to 
the regret of all. 

We are indebted to his friend, Mr. Richard Burton, 
for the following sketch of him, which is exceedingly 
valuable and pleasing. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 439 

[One is wont to view the personality and performance of 
a friend, beloved and vanished from mortal vision, through 
a haze of sweet remembrances and sacred associations. 
Hence arises that idealization of the dead, beautiful in its 
birth, but resulting sometimes in the perfunctory praise of 
tombstones or the lying glosses of conventional eulogy — 
that suppressio veri which works as much mischief often as 
out-and-out falsehood. 

And yet when the eulogium is honest, spontaneous, and 
general, it represents the highest truth concerning its recip- 
ient. The good spoken of a man of genius and character 
after his removal from earth is a judgment in which head 
and heart have equal share — and this in itself is a certifi- 
cate of its authenticity. While he is among us he is too near 
to be seen as he is; removed from the blurr and puzzlement 
of o'er-close contact, we regard him in the round and with 
proper perspective. Called of a sudden to pronounce upon 
his qualities, we are put to our perspicacity and good faith at 
once, and express the underlying deep conviction unwitting- 
ly formulated as the dear one moved about the street or in 
our homes, playing off upon us the manifold manifestations 
of his essential nature. 

And in Henry Wilson may be seen such a man, such a 
nature, which, when appraised either in respect of gift or of 
character, confirms the instinctive, tender affirmation of 
grief and love. To recall the annals of his life, to chronicle 
his influence and accomplishment, is an enheartening, an 
alluring thing; it notifies those still in the thick of the fight 
that talent consecrated by goodness is of the essences that 
may not die. 

" Only the actions of the just 
Smell sweet and blossom in their dust." 

The mere mention of the external facts of a life seldom 
conveys more than a partial sense of the real person; yet, 
for completeness' sake, it is well to run over dates and hap- 
penings. Born in the lovely Connecticut river town of Green- 
field, Mass., in 1828, he came of good New England stock — 
that stock which, rustic and simple-nurtured as it is, has 



440 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

proved in root and branch so potent in our native life. Wil- 
son had the plain, godly heritage and the common-school 
education granted to many another New Englander who has 
left the world richer for his being in it. His father was a 
man much considered in his town, a leading churchman, and 
constable of the place; his mother a noble woman of the old 
school. Early his love for music was announced, sending 
him to Boston before he was of age, to study the gentlest and 
divinest of the arts under the best teachers, while he worked 
at his trade of printer to insure a livelihood. Thence he re- 
turned home, giving music lessons in a seminary and begin- 
ning his definite profession as organist of St. James's Church. 
A wider opportunity was found in Dr. Ide's church at Spring- 
field, and after a brief sojourn there, came a year or more in 
Germany, that Mecca for musicians, natal land of song among 
modern nations. The time was spent at the Leipsic Con- 
servatory under masters like Plaidy, Moschelles, Richter, 
and Papperitz, who taught him in the sundry divisions which 
go to make a rounded culture. A richly fertile experience 
this, we may well believe, for the young enthusiast, con- 
firming and clarifying his taste, broadening his knowledge, 
laying a foundation upon which to build his critical and 
creative work in the years to be. At that period such train- 
ing and inspiration could alone be received from such-like 
European musical centers. 

In the fall of 1855 we see Wilson, his studies concluded, 
making straight for Hartford to take charge of the Christ 
Church organ there — a church and a city which for a quar- 
ter-century he was to be associated with in ways of useful- 
ness and honor. Two years later he married Miss Eugenia 
J. Baldwin of Middletown, Conn., a lady who as his wife ful- 
fills one's ideal of that tie and relation, and, still surviving 
him, is in the hearts of a host of devoted friends a synonym 
for all that makes womanhood a benediction and a privilege. 
Wilson's connection with Christ Church for more than 
twenty years, as organist and choir director, made his name 
and that of his quartet famous throughout New England; 
he was long the favorite and foremost Hartford teacher in 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 44 1 

his profession, and as a social figure one of the most con- 
spicuous and welcome in the exceptionally gracious life of 
that city. On Easter of the year 1877 he became the organ- 
ist of the Park Church, whose pastor, Dr. Burton, was a dear 
and long-time friend; but not for long did he engage in this 
new work. A memorial service on December 30th was his 
last participation in his worshipful art, and in scarce more 
than a week's time, before he had rounded out fifty years of 
life, he was dead. 

Henry Wilson's public funeral, fitly held at Christ Church, 
was a noteworthy occasion; the great concourse of mourners, 
the outpouring of loving testimonials from far and near, the 
comment of the public press, all went to show the man's 
value in the eyes of friends, of the community, and of the 
country. Even to the stricken hearts and blinded eyes of 
those bowed down with sorrow at the time, this recognition 
was an inexpressible solace. 

Wilson's professional work as teacher, organist, conductor, 
and composer was varied and of a high order. But it is in 
the latter capacity, as a creator of church music, that he will 
be longest remembered and brought the most reputation to 
himself and to the city of his election. Real creation in any 
of the arts — to be forever distinguished from spurious and 
bastard imitations thereof — is so rare and so precious as to 
set apart one whose work can be ranked in that august cate- 
gory. That of Wilson was so rated by the critical judgment 
of fellow-musicians, by trained specialists who regarded him 
from the vantage-point of unprejudiced impartiality. Stimu- 
lating and successful as he was in the teaching function, 
gifted and polidextrous as he showed himself as organist 
and conductor, it is by his church music most of all that 
his name survives his own earthly sojourn, lending its sweet 
savor to the Christian service of God. His music is played 
and sung by the best choirs of this country at the recurrent 
festivals of the Church, and his compositions will be heard 
more rather than less as it becomes the custom in our 
churches to make use of the choicest productions of native 
composers. At his best — in such things as his masterpiece, 



442 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

the Christmas cantata, "And there were Shepherds," the 
splendid hymn, " Allehiia," or in his unpublished setting for 
the grand and solemn "Dies Irse," in the opinion of compe- 
tent critics one of his most scholarly and noble composi- 
tions — his work displays a union of melodic invention, bold 
imagination, sound technique, and deep religious inspiration. 
It is music that illuminates the meaning of Lanier's phrase, 
" the holiness of beauty." It emanates not alone from the 
mind musically active, but from a spirit requiring an ex- 
pressional outlet for devotion. One feels that far more than 
virtuosity went to its making. It is, in a word, meet for its 
place and atmosphere, an example of the lovely marriage of 
art and religion. Those who knew Wilson are in danger of 
not fully realizing his importance and dignity as a creator in 
music; it commonly happens that personal familiarity blinds 
to the true significance of a man's work. It is, we repeat, 
in and through his cantatas, anthems, and hymns, and be- 
cause of his peerless " Book of Chants ", that his name and 
fame are a permanent possession to American music. Hart- 
ford must set him among her worthies who reflect upon the 
home city, the proud little Connecticut Capital, the luster of 
their deeds. 

When one comes to estimate the character, the private 
life and personal quality of Wilson, there is naught to ex- 
tenuate; all is open, fair, and praiseworthy. All who had his 
acquaintance have been quick to testify that he was a man 
most lovable in his walks and ways, endearing himself to his 
mates by a winsomeness that makes tenderness and admira- 
tion the natural words to convey the effect of him alike upon 
casual acquaintances and "bosom cronies." His social attri- 
butes were many; wit was his, so that he was a delightful 
vacation companion; the warm heart plucked the sting from 
the satire, and impulsiveness of speech and act lent the 
charm of spontaneity to both. The Ariel-like quality of his 
fun made it fascinating and unforgetable. His literary gift 
was marked, as is evidenced in the breezy letters which he 
wrote from abroad to the Springfield Republican, and by the 
impromptu rhymes and clever mots he threw off by the score 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 443 

upon occasion. He was a clever amateur actor, and those 
who once saw him assume the role of an old German fiddler 
will never drop out of mind the exquisite pathos of the im- 
personation. In truth, his genial, honest, loving nature 
blossomed forth in its favorable social environment by a 
hundred ways of innocent pleasantness; so that those closest 
to the man think of him first of all as the good fellow and 
dear friend; and, be it added. Earth can offer no epitaph so 
genuine and so much to be coveted. Yet under the exterior 
of quip and smile and social scintillation was the deep, sweet 
soul, the yearning desire of a God-called maker of the 
beautiful. 

In ending this brief sketch, our first thought comes back 
again — how it is one of the sad things incident to the com- 
mon abuse of eulogy that words such as these here written 
may sound conventional to those who knew not Henry Wil- 
son; but this is a friend's tribute for friends, and they know 
there is nothing of exaggeration in what is herein recorded; 
that rather the testimony is lame and inadequate to express 
what Wilson was — nay, is to them, as they recall him 
through the mists of memory and draw him closer in all 
fond affection to their heart of hearts. And to many of 
them, as they muse upon his noble life and life-work, comes 
the felicity and the hope voiced in the lines of Shelley: 

" Meanwhile, thy spirit Ufts its pinions 
In music's most serene dominions." ] 

Resolved., That the thanks of this Parish are hereby 
tendered to the Rev. John T. Huntington, for the satisfactory 
manner in which he has filled the pulpit, and performed the 
duties of the Parish. 

While the office has been an onerous and difficult one, we 
cannot forbear our thanks for the time and attention he has 
devoted to it, to the great interference with his other duties ; 
and we recognize the great aid and assistance he has rendered 
this Parish while without a Rector, and desire to place our 
appreciation of the same on record. 

Voted, That a sum not exceeding four hundred dollars, be 
appropriated for music, during the coming year.

Mr. Nichols Accepts. 

May I, V. The following letter from the Rev. William 
F. Nichols, wherein he accepts the Rectorship of the Parish, 
was read. It had been read to the congregation on Sunday, 
April 15 th. 

West Hartford, April 10, 1877. 
Messrs. Lanman, Russell, and Matson, Committee, etc. : 

Gentlemen^ My personal acknowledgments are due you, 
and Christ Church Parish for its action at the Special Meet- 
ing held Monday evening, March 26th, and further for the 
kindliness with which the notice of my election as Rector has 
been accompanied. It is fitting that I should now formally 
confirm that expression of my sense of all this, which I made 
at my interview the 27th ult. 

As agreed when we met at that time, I have had oppor- 
tunity to weigh the matter you brought me to decide, and 
have consulted with the Bishop of the Diocese, and others, 
within as well as without the Parish itself ; and I now feel 
prepared to say that I will accept the Rectorship, my 
acceptance, if there be no objection, to date from Sunday, 
May 6th (V Sunday after Easter). 

I might add much as to the estimate of the responsibility 
of the position, and much, too, as to what that estimate 
honestly involves touching myself, but you will understand 
these things as none the less real because I do not enlarge 
upon them. Suffice it to say that I shall, God helping me, 
bring to the work the fulness of a belief that the Holy Spirit 
blesses an honest purpose to be faithful, and that if people 
and pastor cling to such a purpose, and patiently abide the 
Lord's good time, looking for no gourd-like growths, but 
for the sureness and the slowness of the " blade, the ear, the 
full corn in the ear," God will surely give the increase. 

Hoping to begin in the Parish the Sunday I have named, 
and again thanking you, 1 am, Gentlemen, 

Very truly yours, 

William F. Nichols.

My Dear Mr. Hoadly : 

I have received the copy of the resolutions of thanks, etc., 
tendered to myself, and to Messrs. Wander and Gundlach, etc., 
by the members of Christ Church Parish, at their late meet- 
ing, and in acknowledging the same, wish to add with how 
much pleasure it has been received by all, mingles with the 
sadness which is still in our hearts in breaking away from 
the " Mother Church " of Hartford, and all the pleasant and

been so closely connected with her and her people. 

We desire to thank the members of the Parish for the

After a prolonged discussion upon the subject, it was

ZepJiaiiiaJi Preston was born in the town of Ashford, 
Eastford parish, February 14, 1795. He came to Hart- 
ford early in life, and was clerk for N. and D. Morgan, 
from whom, probably, he received his knowledge of the 
Episcopal Church. He was a partner in business with 
William H. Imlay for a time, and afterwards with Horatio 
Alden. He married Ann Canfield January 3, 1821. She 
was born Nov. 8, 1797, died Feb. 22, 1873. He was a 
subscriber to the Society for Promoting Christian Knowl- 
edge, in 1 8 18. In 1826 he "was requested to take charge 
of the orchestra, to select proper tunes, and to lead the 
singers." In November of the same year he was 
" thanked for his faithful care and superintendence of the 
Sunday-school." He was Vestryman in 1835, '36, '39, '40, 
'48, '49, '6i-'72 ; Senior Warden, 1859, '60; Junior Warden, 
1850-1859; Treasurer, 1837, '3^, '57, '58. 

Mr. Preston was much interested in Parish matters, 
especially in the Sunday-school and in singing. His dis- 
position was mild, his manners quiet, his temper gentle 
and sympathetic. He attended strictly to his business, 
and was not specially interested in public affairs. He was 
a decidedly religious man, and devoted to the Episcopal 
Church ; a thorough churchman, as he understood its 
character, pretty well fixed in his own beliefs, not approv- 
ing of flowers in the church, nor wishing for changes in 
the Liturgy, or innovations in the services. He was 
probably better pleased with the phrase, " administration 
of the holy communion," than the " celebration " of the 
same. If he was an Evangelican, or Low Churchman, he 
was a man honest in his opinions, and not afraid or 
ashamed to express them. He certainly had no leaning 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 447 

towards Romish practices or beliefs, which cannot be said 
of some of his descendants. As the differences in some 
families are very marked between great saints and great 
sinners, so there is often in the same families a marked 
difference among the saints themselves. In addition to 
other recognitions of his worth and esteem, it may be 
mentioned that he was often a delegate to the Diocesan 
Convention. He died May 19, 1877.

wards empowered to hold this Sunday School at St. Paul's.

March p, r. A vote of St. Paul's Parish relative to the 
conveyance of their real and personal estate to this Parish, 
upon certain conditions, was read, and the matter was referred 
to a committee. 

James Goodwin was born in Hartford, March 2, 1803, 
and died March 15, 1878. He was married to Lucy 
Morgan, July 30, 1832. For many years he* was engaged 
in the management of lines of stages, which business he 
conducted with wonderful energy and success. After- 
wards he was connected with various corporations of the 
city, all of which received the benefit of his wise counsel. 
He was courageous and self-reliant, and his judgment 
was seldom at fault. The first notice of his connection 
with the Parish is the vote of the Vestry, December 10, 
1825, appointing him, with others, "to dress the Church 
for the approaching Christmas." He was a Vestryman 



448 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

1830-34; 1839-57; 1859, '6O' '63, '64. He was often 
appointed upon committees, and brought to the affairs of 
the Parish that energy and prudence which characterized 
his own business. He was generous in his offerings, 
satisfied with the doctrines and usages of the Church, and 
by no means friendly to innovations. A certain style of 
music which prevailed for a short time was exceedingly 
disagreeable to him, and to others also, and led to a 
report which was especially pleasant to him and to Mr. 
George Beach. But in all diversities of opinion he stood 
by the Parish.; he did not desert it because he could not 
have his own way. He had very decided opinions about 
incurring an annual indebtedness beyond the ability or 
willingness of the Parish to pay at once, and thus set us 
an example for our serious consideration. 

April 22^ P. The committee on the proposition from St. 
Paul's reported the following resolution, which was adopted. 

Resolved, That it is not expedient for this Parish to accept 
the property of St. Paul's Parish, upon the conditions and 
reservations proposed to be inserted in the conveyance 
thereof, by the vote of St. Paul's Parish passed Feb. 4th, 1878. 

The Parish had just ideas of economy, and voted that 
a sum not exceeding four hundred dollars be appropriated 
for music for the coming year. 

It having been brought to the notice of the meeting 
that about three thousand dollars had been raised by 
the ladies of the Parish, organized as a Wheaton 
Memorial Association, for the purpose of placing a 
window in the chancel of the Church, as a memorial of 
Rev. Nathaniel S. Wheaton, D.D., a former Rector of this 
Parish, and that they had requested Mr. George Beach, 
Rev. Mr. Nichols, and Dr. Gurdon W. Russell to procure 
a design for said window, which design was shown to the 
meeting ; after discussion, it was — 

Voted, That Mr. George Beach, Rev. Mr. Nichols, and Dr. 
Gurdon W. Russell, be a committee further to consider a 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 449 

design for the window, and that the same be presented to the 
ladies, and the Vestry, and if the latter should consent to the 
same, that it be put in place. 

The Treasurer reported that the small balance of 
indebtedness mentioned in his report had been subscribed 
by several gentlemen, and that the Parish was now free 
from debt. 

An account of the painting originally in the chancel 
window and the subsequent one of glass has been given. 
A history of the present window is furnished by Mrs. 
Henry Wilson, the treasurer of the Wheaton Memorial 
Association. The movement was exceedingly creditable 
to those engaged in it, and the window adds much to 
the religious character of the Church building. The 
ground work of the glass does not sufficiently temper the 
light and is a trial to the eyes on a bright Sunday after- 
noon ; this has been remedied in part by a temporary 
shadino- on the outside. The makers of the window in 
London did not fully appreciate our bright and clear 
atmosphere ; no such criticism, however, is to be made with 
the memorial windows afterwards constructed by them. 

[" The ladies of Christ Church Parish held a Fair at 
Reilly's Hall, on December 3d, 4th, 5th, and 6th, 1872 ; and 
on the 9th of December, the Choir of the Church gave 
a Concert at the same place. The proceeds were to be used 
for starting a fund to place a Memorial Window in the 
chancel of the Church, to the memory of the late Rev. D^ 
Wheaton. 

" The net proceeds of the Fair and Concert amounted to 
two thousand two hundred and seventy-eight dollars ($2,278). 

"In November, 1S79, when the window was put in place 
this fund had increased to three thousand two hundred and

" The subject chosen was the Transfiguration of our 

blessed Lord, and the stone work of the chancel window was 

accordingly designed with especial reference to it. It is a

the head, divided by a transom. The execution of this glass 
was entrusted to the well known artists, Messrs. Heaton, 
Butler, & Bayne of London, and they have succeeded in 
making a most glorious and enduring work of art, of which 
the church may well be proud. In the center light above the 
transom is a figure of our blessed Lord with His hand up- 
lifted in the act of blessing, on the right is Moses with the 
stone tablets, and on the left Elias holding a book. The 
three disciples, Peter, James, and John, with awe-struck 
faces, fill the lower lights. In the borders surrounding the 
figures are numberless angels. The color of the whole 
window is rich and harmonious, and will repay a careful 
study."] 

Although it is anticipating somewhat the regular 
course of events, yet it is proper, as furnishing a history 
of this window, and of the additions and changes sub- 
sequently made, that this statement by the Rev. Francis 
Goodwin should be recorded here. 

" At the time that Mrs. Goodwin and her daughter. Miss 
Mary Goodwin, first proposed to build a Memorial Chapel 
and Parish building, in connection with Christ Church, no 
alteration of the Church itself was contemplated. The Rev. 
Mr. Nichols, the Rector of the Parish, however, urged that un- 
less some provision was made for the enlargement and im- 
provement of the Chancel, it could never be made afterwards. 
He suggested that the Wheaton Memorial Fund would provide 
for the stonework and glass of the window ; and that other 
memorials were contemplated, which would go far towards 
furnishing the necessary fittings. 

" Mr. and Miss Goodwin however, provided everything 
but the Window, the Reredos, the Chancel rail, and the 
Credence. The Pulpit, Prayer Desk, and Stalls, were 
designed by Mr. F. C. Withers, and executed by Ellin & 
Kidston of New York. The brass Lectern was made by 
John-Hardman & Co. of Birmingham, England. 

"The stones of the Chancel arch were set in rough block, 
and the moulding cut after they were in position. Much of 
this work, together with that of setting the stone steps, was

done at night, in order that everything might be completed 
in time for the Semi-Centennial services. The total cost was 
$30,106.19. 

"The Reredos was given by Dr. Russell, the Chancel rail 
by Miss Brinley, and the Credence by the Misses Watrous, as 
a memorial of their father." 

Nov. 2, V. Mr. Nichols intimated that a member of the 
Parish had in contemplation the erection of a Parish build- 
ing, to contain a Chapel and other accomodations ; and that 
in order to properly connect it with the church, it was 
desirable to obtain complete control over the land between 
the church and the present chapel, and that the gangway be 
removed further west. 

The Wardens and Mr. Davis were appointed a com- 
mittee to confer with W. W. Roberts, who owns part of 
the land, and has certain rights in the gangway. 

Nov. 18. When Mr. Nichols, Nov. 2d, intimated that a 
member of the Parish had in contemplation the erection 
of a further building, in connection with the church, he 
had reference to the project which is stated in the follow- 
ing letter from the widow of the late Major James Good- 
win, which was read at a Parish meeting, November i8th. 

My dear Mr. Nichols : 

It may be desirable for you to have a definite statement 
of what we wish to do, to lay before the parish meeting. I 
therefore send you the following. 

Having long felt the need of better accommodations than 
the present Chapel affords for carrying out our parochial 
work, we will, with the consent and approval of the parish; 
erect a suitable and convenient building for such purposes. 

The only conditions of the gift are, that such satisfactory 

provisions be made as will prevent its alienation, and that it 

shall always be kept in good repair and properly insured, so 

that in case of its destruction by fire, there may be the 

means for rebuilding it. 

Yrs. very truly, 

Lucy M. Goodwin.

Mr. Beach, in behalf of a committee appointed by the 
Vestry, November second, to confer with William W, 
Roberts as to the terms upon which the present gangway 
between the Church and Chapel could be closed, and a 
small piece of land at the south end of said gangway be 
purchased, made a verbal report. 

Resolved, That this Parish approves and accepts the propo- 
sition of Mrs. James Goodwin (embodied in her letter to the 
Rector of Nov. 14th, and the accompanying draft,) to erect 
a parish building and recess chancel for the Church, recog- 
nizing the great advantage that will in many ways accrue to 
the Church through the gift, and expressing the sense of the 
large generosity the proposition carries with it. 

Resolved, That Rev. W. F. Nichols, George Beach, David 
T. Lanman, and Dr. G. W. Russell, be a committee, with 
power to take all steps necessary on the part of the parish, to 
carry out the above proposition ; to make all necessary 
arrangements with William W. Roberts, and William H. 
Miller, as to right of way over the parish land, and that for 
all such steps said committee be and are hereby api^ointed 
the agents of this parish. 

Messrs. Beach, Lanman, and Russell were appointed a 
committee to raise the funds necessary for the purchase of 
the land. 

Dec. 14, V. The Rector, upon his request, was authorized 
to employ Rev. Wm. M. Chapin to assist him from January 
first until Easter next ; Mr. Chapin to be compensated from 
a collection to be taken upon the first Sunday of each month.

April 14, P. David T. Lanman reported on behalf of the 
committee who were appointed to purchase a strip of land, 
and procure Quit Claim Deeds to right of way in Gangway 
west of Church, that said committee had purchased the land 
of W. W. Roberts, with Quit Claim Deed of said Roberts, 
Wm. W. Miller, and all other parties interested in right of 
way in gangway between Church and Chapel, on conditions 
stated in said deed, and made such other preliminary arrange- 
ments as were requisite by the Parish before the construction 
of the proposed new Chapel could be commenced, which 
report was accepted. 

Dr. Russell offered the following Preamble and Resolution 
which were passed. 

Whereas, The Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the conse- 
cration of this Church will occur on the twenty second day 
of December of this year, and as it is desirable that this 
should be noticed in a public and proper manner, therefore, 

Resolved, That the Vestry be authorized and requested to 
make such appointments and arrangements as may be neces- 
sary, for the celebration of this Anniversary in December 
next. 

The following resolutions were offered, and after some 
discussion were laid upon the table for future consideration. 

Whereas, Certain parishioners propose to erect upon land 
belonging to this Parish, a Parish building and other addi- 
tions to this Church, and Whereas in accepting this proposi- 
tion the Parish agreed to protect such building from all 
danger of alienation, and Whereas, such generous gift, and 
other gifts that may be made to the Parish should be so pro- 
tected, therefore — 

Resolved, That and be, and

July ip, V. Hartford, July 17, 1879. 

To the Rector, Wardens and Vestry of Christ Church, Hart- 
ford. 
At a meeting of the Vestry of St. John's Parish, held on 

the evening of July 16, 1879, it was unanimously 

Voted, To extend a cordial invitation to the Parish of 

Christ Church to unite with us until the improvements on 

their Church shall be completed. 

Attest, Chs. E. Wilson, Clerk. 

Voted, That we accept with thanks, the invitation so 
kindly extended to us by vSt. John's Parish, to unite with 
them in worship during the time our Church is closed for 
improvements, and that all such arrangements as may be 
required be left with the Rector. 

The contractors so arranged a partition that it was not 
necessary to leave the church, and so there was no inter- 
ruption in the services. 

Sept. ij, V. Voted, That Mrs. Wilmerding, and Mrs. Daniel 
Goodwin, be permitted to place Memorial windows in the 
Church. 

The Rector was requested to examine, and report at some 
future meeting a plan for adoption, if practicable, to govern 
persons who may wish to occupy for Memorial windows those 
not already taken. 

Dec. 27. The celebration of the Semi-Centennial An- 
niversary of the Consecration of the present Church 
building on the 23d inst. was a solemn but joyful occasion ; 
the details are fully given in a pamphlet published soon 
afterwards. 

V. Voted, That the thanks of the Vestry be tendered to 
Bishop Clark of Rhode Island, for the very able and interest- 
ing sermon delivered in Christ Church, on the 23d of 
December, being the occasion of the celebration of the Semi- 
Centennial Anniversary of the consecration of the Church, and 
that a copy of this vote be forwarded to him, with a request 
of a copy of his sermon for publication. 



456 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

Voted, That the thanks of the Vestry be tendered to the 
Rev. George H. Clark, for the sermon delivered in Christ 
Church, on Sunday morning-, Dec. 21st, being the Sunday pre- 
ceding the celebration of the Semi-Centennial Anniversary

Voted, That the thanks of the Vestry are due, and are 
hereby tendered to the Rector of this Parish for the success- 
ful manner in which the programme, and all the exercises 
pertaining to the Celebration were carried out, being in great 
measure due to his personal care, and supervision of all 
details. 

Voted, That the thanks of the Vestry are tendered to the 
ladies of the Parish for their active supervision and personal 
labor, in arranging and carrying out the details of the work 
required for the reception given at Allyn Hall, on the evening 
of Dec. 23, 1879.

Feb. 7, V. Whereas, no appropriation having been made 
by this Parish for the music, during the past three years, ex- 
cept for the salary of the Organist, and as in the opinion of 
the Vestry a moderate appropriation for the Choir seems now 
desirable, therefore. 

Resolved, That the Vestry recommend that at the next 
annual meeting of the Parish, the sum of two hundred and 
fifty dollars be appropriated for the music for the ensuing 
year, in addition to the sum of five hundred dollars for the 
salary of the Organist.

Samuel II. Huntington is first recorded as being one of 
a committee for dressing the Church in 1821. He came 
from Suffield with his father, I suppose, and his brothers 
Hezekiah, Jr., and Francis J. They were classed among 
the Baptists, and attended at their meetings. Occasionally 
our subject strayed in the evening into Christ Church, 
where he was noticed by the observant eye of Mr. Chase. 
Meeting him on the street one day, he took him by the 
hand and said, " I saw you at my Church last Sunday 
evening. I shall be glad to see you at my house next 
Monday evening, where you will find a number of young 
men who are receiving Bible instructions ; come and see 
us." He went, and was so much pleased that he became 
a regular attendant at the Church. He was one of a 
number who were brought into the fold by the gracious 
ways of the Rector. He was made a Vestryman in 1823, 
and was chosen on many occasions afterwards; in 1832 he 
was Junior Warden. He was on many and important 
committees, was often a delegate to the Diocesan Conven- 
tion, and to the General Convention. He was quite 
active in the Parish, and in Church affairs generally. 
For some years he was vSuperintendent of the Sunday- 
school, and ever showed great interest in it. Perhaps he 
was as well informed about the Episcopal Church as any 
layman in the Parish, and was pleased to represent it in 
its different organizations. He was a ready speaker, fond 
of debate, and very useful ; for he had a' large fund of 
information, and an extensive acquaintance with men. 
He was a lawyer by profession, like his father, and 
politically was classed with the democrats ; at one time he 
was Judge of the County Court. In later life he devel- 
oped a taste for agriculture, residing on an extensive 
farm a few miles from the city, on the Albany road. 
Notwithstanding the distance from the city he was prompt 
and regular in attendance at Church, nor did he fail in 
cold or heat, or storms. His family filled a large wagon.

and in the short days of winter it must have required both 
resolution and executive ability to see that all were pre- 
pared for an early start. When we remember that the 
Sunday-school opened at nine o'clock in the morning, and 
that frequently he was first among the teachers to appear, 
we can realize some of the difficulties he must have 
encountered. Occasionally he took opportunity to gently 
admonish some of the laggards among those who lived 
near by, and very naturally illustrated what could be done, 
and ought to have been done, by not unpleasantly 
referring to his own case. But unfortunately there are 
some who can never be brought into habits of punctuality, 
but continue to be a hindrance to business or pleasure, 
and an annoyance to all with whom they are engaged. 
After some years he returned to the city, residing on 
Sumner street, spending a part of his time in Washington 
as Clerk of the Court of Claims. He became one of the 
founders of Trinity Parish, and lived a devout and 
honorable life. He was born Dec. 14, 1793, and died 
Feb. 4, 1880. 

His brother, Hczekiah Huntington, was made Clerk of 
the Parish in 1826. He was a member of the Vestry in 
1830, and repeatedly for many times afterwards. In 1831 
and '32, he was also Treasurer. He was active, generous 
in his nature, and strongly attached to the Church. He 
was extensively engaged in the book-selling and publish- 
ing business, with his brother Francis, under the firm 
name of H. & F. J. Huntington. Their store was near 
the present Phoenix Bank, where they remained for many 
years. Afterwards he was President of the Hartford Fire 
Insurance Company, which rapidly developed into a very 
successful institution. He was born Oct. 28, 1795, and 
married (i) June 12, 1826, Sarah, daughter of William 
Morgan. She died April 16, 1847. He married (2) 
Sept. 25, 1856, Catharine B., daughter of George Sumner, 
M.D. He died February 20, 1865, and was one of the 
original members of Trinity Parish.

Francis J. Huntington was a younger brother, whose 
name first appears in a subscription in 1829, for building 
the Church. Though not so personally engaged in its 
affairs as his seniors, he was not less devoted to its 
interests, or attachment to it; he was a pronounced 
Churchman. All three of them were devout Episco- 
palians, honorable and just, perfectly satisfied with their 
own views, and content to live in peace and charity with 
those who differed from them in opinion. Frank was 
fond of rural life, and developed his inclinations in the 
fine farm and buildings on Prospect Hill, or Scarborough 
Hill, as he insisted on calling it. Here he resided for 
many years, though for a part of the time he was engaged 
in the book publishing business in New York. He 
was born December 3, 1802, and was married to Stella 
B. Bull of Hartford. 

He died February 5, 1876 ; was one of the original mem- 
bers of St. John's Parish, and also one of the original 
members of Trinity Parish, in 1859. ^^ three of these 
brothers left children, who are consistent and devoted in 
their attachment to the Protestant Episcopal Church. 
Truly, Mr. Chase did a good work here in Hartford, as 
well as elsewhere. 

There are a few other families, descendants of ancient 
Churchmen, even to the third or fourth generation, who 
still remain as representatives in our Parish ; but not 
many. Death and removals have taken them away, and 
no one is left, even in the female line. Most of the old 
families in Hartford have entirely disappeared, and to 
many of them hardly a memory remains. But the new- 
comers have brought with them from the country towns 
the godly faith of their forefathers, their New England 
integrity, and their indomitable New England persever- 
ance ; their thrift and energy, love and respect for labor, 
and for whatever is of good report. Their sturdy virtues 
still exist in their sons and daughters, and no New

Charles H. Northani commences his " Recollections of 
business men in Hartford, and their locations," by say- 
ing, " I came to reside in Hartford on 22nd of October, 
1812, as a clerk in the grocery store of Mr. Nathan Mor- 
gan, in Ferry street, two months less than 1 5 years old ; 
salary for the first year $20, with board and washing." 
He was, at different times, in the wholesale grocery busi- 
ness with Nathan Morgan, M. W. Chapin, George 
Roberts, and then was alone for a few years. In 1844 he 
was in partnership with James Bolter, which was con- 
tinued for seventeen years. In retiring from mercantile 
pursuits he was chosen as president of the Mercantile 
Bank, which position he occupied till the time of his 
death, November 21, 1881. 

His name first appears in the Parish records among 
the young men, who, in 1822, subscribed one hundred 
dollars for the purchase of new lamps for the Church. 
He was a vestryman 1830, '31, '38, '39, '40, '47-'59, and 
senior warden 1865- 1868. At all times he was much in- 
terested in everything which concerned tjie Parish, and 
was a frequent and generous contributor, remembering it 
especially in his last will, as will be seen by reference to 
the " Report." But he was not unmindful of his obliga- 
tions elsewhere ; for as God had blessed him, he was 
always generous and charitably disposed. His donations 
to Trinity College were large, as were those to the Hart- 
ford Hospital, in which enterprise he was an earnest sup- 
porter from the beginning, and a willing contributor 
until his death. He was a man whose natural impulses

were good, and when to these were added good common 
sense, an equable temper, a generous and charitable dis- 
position, a thorough knowledge of business, a desire to 
conduct it honorably, and to live in love and peace with 
his fellows, we have a picture of a citizen who becomes 
valuable in any community, and who is a gain to any in- 
terest in which he may be engaged. A friend who knew 
him well said to me that " he was eminently practical, 
mathematically honest, systematic, and very liberal." 
That phrase, "mathematically honest," is about as high 
praise as can be given to anyone. The boy who came to 
Hartford from Colchester at fifteen years of age, and was 
content to serve at first " for twenty dollars a year and his 
board and washing," was honest, prudent, diligent in 
business, kind and charitable, accumulated a large for- 
tune, which he shared liberally with others during his 
life, and was not forgetful of the precepts of his Master 
at last.

Hoadly and make the necessary arrangements to complete 
the work. 

It is to be regretted that Mr. Hoadly did not undertake 
the completion of his history, in consequence of his 
numerous other engagements, for it may safely be said 
that no other person in the Parish was as well qualified as 
himself, both on account of his learning and natural 
talents for research, and his extensive and minute knowl- 
edge of the affairs of the Parish. The writer is fully 
sensible how feeble his own efforts have been in compari- 
son with those of Mr. Hoadly, and heartily wishes that he 
had undertaken the work himself. 

The Parish was now in a prosperous condition. Its 
indebtedness was all paid, the attendance upon the ser- 
vices was increasing, and all felt a confidence and satis- 
faction in the ambitious and industrious young rector. 
Cordial support was given to all his suggestions. Though 
a large number of the old and influential members had 
been lost, it was believed that the Parish might regain 
some of its former standing and influence. The income 
was now sufficient for its reasonable expenses, and it was 
Voted, that the rector's salary be increased five hundred 
dollars for the ensuing year. 

Proper recognition was made of the death of Col. 
Northam, which occurred on March 26th, for the valuable 
and long-continued services in the Parish, and for the 
great generosity which had always been bestowed upon 
it ; and especially for the kind remembrance of it in his 
will. Reference is further made to him and to this his 
last bequest, in the Report on the Funds of the Parish, 
p. 132.

music to tbe Parish in a series of resolutions, and after a 
free and harmonious discussion, the following was — 

Voted, That the Rector be permitted to arrange for a Choir 
of men and boy's voices, for afternoon and evening services, 
as he may deem proper, provided no extra expense is made 
to the Parish. 

While there was some opposition to a vested choir, yet 
the general opinion was favorable to it, and after a short 
period the choir sang at the morning service also. Eleven 
hundred dollars had been appropriated for the music, at 
the annual meeting in March.

the Rector to assist him in the class of Church History in the 
Berkley Divinity School, it was. 

Voted, That the Vestry do hereby consent that the Rector 
have permission, provided that it does not seriously interfere 
with his regular parish duties. 

Nov. JO, V. The Rector read a paper to the Vestry, stat- 
ing the general condition of the Parish ; its finances, growth, 
and prospects, giving his views and suggestions as to its 
present and future wants. After a very general discussion 
of the subject, the meeting adjourned. 

1886. 

Jan. 2j, V. The Rector and Wardens were appointed 
to prepare some plan for a better arrangement at com- 
munion services. 

The object of this was to prevent a gathering on the 
platform at the administration of the Holy Communion. 
Instead of a simultaneous leaving of the pews by the 
communicants, it was recommended (as the accommoda- 
tions were sufficient for twelve only at one time) that four 
only from each aisle should leave their seats, and should 
return from the north and south sides. The plan was 
thoroughly explained by Mr. Nichols, and worked well 
for a short time ; but soon the platform was as badly 
crowded as ever. A second explanation after a few 
months, was followed by an improvement, but soon the 
communicants had their own way, and the dignity and 
solemnity of the sacrament remains much impaired to 
this day. 

The introduction of a Vested Choir was not effected 
without considerable discussion of a friendly character, 
but all objections were quieted, if not removed, and soon 
a very general consent was given to the new arrangement. 

Feb. 6, K. Voted, unanimously by the Vestry, that the 
music for the ensuing year, for morning and evening services, 
be furnished by a Vested Choir, at a cost to the Parish not

to exceed one thousand dollars ; and the music committee 
are ordered to make necessary arrangements to carry the 
same into effect. 

April 26, P. Mr. L. B. Goodman stated that he had in- 
sured the Memorial Paintings, or Decorations, which he had 
presented to the Church, in the name of the Parish, and 
delivered the policy into the Treasurer's hands. He trusted 
that in case of destruction by fire, the Parish would feel 
obligated to replace them. 

These two memorial paintings on canvas, by Messrs. 
Heaton, Butler, & Bayne, London, are memorials of the 
wife and children of Mr. L. B. Goodman, long a valuable 
member and officer of the Parish. The subject of the 
painting on the south side of the chancel arch is " Christ 
healing the Blind," and is peculiarly fitting to the case of 
Mrs. Goodman. The subject for the north side is " Christ 
blessing little children." There are five shown in the 
group.

April II. The following commtmication was received 
from the Rector : 

To the Parish of Christ Church in A/imial Meeting Assembled : 

Gentlemen, — It becomes my duty to make the formal 
announcement to yoi: of my acceptance of a call which has 
come to me from another Parish, to take effect Trinity Sun- 
day, the fifth day of the coming month of June. 

This announcement is the result of an anxious and pro- 
longed consideration of the many questions involved in the 
important matter upon which it bears, in all the perplexities 
of which it has been my constant aim and prayer to have it 
shown me, from a high and far-reaching outlook, how I could 
best serve God in my office, to the glory of His name, and the 
edification of His Clu^rch. 

I know no words wliich could convey to you the ache of 
heart with which I am to sever the relations which I have 



468 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

had with Christ Church as its Rector. The most impres- 
sionable decade of my life has been spent in this Rectorship, 
and its work and its warm attachments have moulded and 
shaped my ministry for all future years. The work has been 
blessed in a way which has abundantly justified the reliance 
upon the sufficiency of God's grace, which I expressed to you 
in my letter accepting the Rectorship ten years ago, and this 
in spite of infirmity, and imperfection in my ministry, for 
which, as I realize them, I earnestly pray God may not call 
me to account. 

The warm attachment to this House of God, which you 
have beautified and enlarged, and helped me use for the daily 
worship and weekly communion of God's Church, to these 
rooms, and the devoted workers who have made them a busy 
workshop for good ; to your homes into the joys and sorrows 
of which, as well as into the welcome of which mv Pastorate 
has carried me ; to the Rectory which you have provided, and 
around which you have built up so many associations of un- 
ceasing kindness and thoughtfulness ; to your Wardens and 
Vestry who have done so much for the trust you have com- 
mitted to them, and have been so helpful and considerate to 
me all these years, my attachment to all these has given me 
a happiness which has become a part of my being. It re- 
mains for me to add to the above announcement, that I 
hereby resign my Rectorship of Christ Church Parish, to 
take effect the first day of June next. 

The Bishop of the Diocese, at my request, has authorized 
for use at the services, a prayer for right guidance in the 
selection of a fit person to take up this weighty charge. 
Praying that God will send such an one, and carry to still 
greater realization in the length and breadth of the Parish 
that resurrection life of our Lord which Eastertide teaches, 

I am, very sincerely yours, 

William F. Nichols. 
Christ Church Rectory, Hartford. 

Monday in Easter-week, Apr. ii, iSSj. 
Voted, That the resignation of the Rector be accepted, 
with regret, and that a committee of three, consisting of Dr. 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 469 

G. W. Russell, L. B. Goodman, and Charles J. Hoadly be ap- 
pointed to draft suitable resolutions to be presented to the 
Rector. 

May 10, P. Voted, That the Wardens and Vestry be 
requested to select a person to be recommended as Rector, 
to the Parish, and report. 

The committee appointed to draft resolutions, and 
present the same to the Rector, reported, and the resolu- 
tions were accepted and were ordered on record. 

It having been stated that there were possible encroach- 
ments on the Parish property in the rear of the Chapel, 
and disturbances by various persons being often noticed, 
it was — 

Voted^ That the matter be referred to the Wardens and 
Vestry, and that they be requested to take such action as 
they may deem necessary to protect the property of the 
Parish, and preserve order and quiet about the Church. 

Hartford, April 20th, 1887. 
To the Rev, William F. Nichols, Rector of Christ Church. 

The Parish at its annual meeting on the evening of Easter 
Monday voted to receive your resignation, but with regret. 
This simple resolve but feebly expresses the true sentiment 
of its members. It was left, however, to its committee 
to state more formally the universal feeling of regret 
that you felt compelled to leave us when your services 
here for a period of ten years have been so very acceptable 
and have been productive of so much good. The energy 
with which you have prosecuted your work, and especially 
the very evident conscientiousness with which it has been 
entered upon, has not only endeared you to the people of our 
Parish, and the Church in our city, but to the community in 
general. That the work is not completed fully, is a source of 
regret to us ; that it has been a great labor to you is apparent 
enough. 

We most heartily wish you a complete success in another 
field, in which every parishioner will join us, and trust that 



470 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

God's goodness and mercy will give you many years of 
happiness, in striving for the good of your fellow men. 

We can only hope that your personal relations will be as 
pleasant and profitable for them as they have been with all 
of us. 

It is a cause of congratulation to us, and of great com- 
mendation to you and 3'our family, that the ten years which 
you have spent in Hartford as our Rector have been years 
of mutual happiness and interest in Church work. 

The harmony and good feeling existing in the Parish is 
mostly due to your own untiring and unselfish devotions. 
With much esteem, we are for the Parish, 

Respectfully, 
GuRDON W. Russell, 
Lorenzo B. Goodman, 
Charles J. Hoadly, 

Committee. 

May 11^ V. A committee of three, consisting of Dr. G. W. 
Russell, George Beach, and Charles J. Hoadly were 
appointed by ballot to select a candidate for Rector, and 
recommend to the Vestry. 

Voted, That the Rev. Mr. Beeman be engaged for the 
present as Minister in charge, and the matter of compensa- 
tion be left with the Wardens, also the number of ser- 
vices on the Sabbath and during the week. 

June 28, V. Voted, That permission be given to the 
friends of the late Mrs. Lydia Huntley Sigourney, to erect 
a Tablet to her memory on the wall of the Church, under 
the supervision of the Vestry of the Parish. 

A brief narration of the chief events in the history of 
the Parish, to the present time, is all that I feel called 
upon to undertake. This is rendered now the more un- 
necessary, because they are recently in our memory, and 
therefore are not properly matters of historical comment. 

August J. Rev. John S. Lindsay, D.D., of Georgetown, 
D. C, was chosen as Rector, but declined.

Junior Warden, Lorenzo B. Goodman, who has been identi- 
fied with the interests of this Parish for many years, and has 
held the office of Vestryman, or Warden, since the year 1868, 
it is 

Resolved, That it is not meet that the death of our asso- 
ciate should be passed without proper notice by us who have 
been united with him in the responsibilities of this parish. 
Long- connected with it, he has been a member loyal to its 
interests, as Vestryman faithful in his responsibilities, as a 
Christian sincere and devout in his worship. The many 
years in which he has served as one of oiir Wardens, have 
been years in which great changes have occurred in the 
Parish, both in loss of many of its members b}^ removal and 
by death, and in those other changes which occur from the 
pressure of business relations, and the introduction of new 
elements in population. Through all these stages of growth 
and depression, Mr. Goodman has remained a faithful at- 
tendant at Christ Church, and more interested than ever, for 
there seemed to be a work for him to do. He remained 
among a few of the older members of the Parish, who still 
linger a little longer, who though proud of the past, are not 
unmindful of the future. His quiet ways, his unobtrusive 
manners, his genuine benevolence, his ready willingness to 
engage in any good work, his hearty sympathy, and his gen- 
erous aid in whatever promised for the furtherance of 
Christ's kingdom on earth, will long be remembered by us 
who have known him, and dutifully cherish his virtues. 
The Parish is much indebted to him, not alone for what he 
gave of his substance, but for the glorious example of a meek 
and quiet spirit, which is a large part of true godliness. 

Resolved, That we desire in this manner to express and to 
leave upon record, a testimonial of our high appreciation of 
his character as a man, and a Christian. 

March 20, V. An informal report of the Treasurer was 
read by Mr. S. B. Curtis, Assistant Treasurer, showing a

were appointed Trustees. See Report on Funds of the Parish, 
p. 140. 

Sept. 21, V. At a special meeting the following minute 
was offered and passed. 

It is with unfeigned sorrow that the Wardens and Vestr)'- 
have learned of the death of Mrs. Lucy M. Goodwin, for 
over fifty years a faithful member of this Parish. During 
this long period she was constant in her attendance at 
Church, showing by example her love for its services, and 
how strongly she regarded her duties and obligations. She 
was not content to do the work which was appointed for her 
in the various organizations of the Parish and town, but 
supplemented them by personal counsels and gifts, which 
showed how sincere and heartfelt she was in all her under- 
takings; her sympathy went with her in all her works. Her 
kindness, her gentleness of speech and manner, her loving 
graciousness, her friendly converse and excellent sense, 
made her a true gentlewoman, and an earnest servant of 
God. What noble conceptions of duty had this woman all 
the days of her life! It was a fountain which flows steadily 
from season to season, from year to year, without interrup- 
tion. 

The talents given her by her Heavenly Father, were 
faithfully employed; not merely because her hand was well 
filled, but because her heart was inclined towards the things 
which are good. This Parish has especial cause to remem- 
ber her for her generous gifts, and especially for her Chris- 
tian example, which was constantly set before us. Her 
attendance upon public worship was a religious duty, which 
was accompanied by a daily life of marked equanimity, and 
service of her Master, for nearly four score of years. We 
may well bless God that so faithful a servant has lived 



474 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

amongst us. " She stretched out her hand to the poor, 3^ea 
she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She openeth her 
mouth with wisdom, and in her tong-ue is the law of kindness." 

Nov. JO, V. The Rector read the following letter : 

October i, 1890. 
My Dear Mr. Tomkins : 

You will recollect our conversation about the end window 
in the south gallery of Christ Church. 

It is our wish to place there a memorial of our mother, 
worthy of her, and the Church. To do this properly may 
require some new mullions, tracery, etc. : and I write there- 
fore to ask through you, permission of the Vestry, to make 
such alterations, and to put in such glass at our sole expense, 
to carry into effect this wish. At the same time we should 
be glad to know if we are at liberty to choose any subject for 
the window in keeping with the character of the edifice. 

Yours sincerely, 

James J. Goodwin. 

Voted^ That the Vestry thankfully accept the proposition 
submitted by James J. Goodwin, and the Rev. Francis Good- 
win, to erect a Memorial to their mother, Mrs. Lucy M. 
Goodwin ; and permission is hereby given them to place such 
Memorial in the west window of the Church, and to make 
such alterations therein, as may be necessary to the proper 
carrying out of their design and purpose. 

Junms 5. Morgan was born in West Springfield, Mass., 
April 13, 1 8 14, and came to Hartford with his father, 
Joseph Morgan, in 1817. He was engaged here in exten- 
sive dry goods business from 1836 to 1851, when he 
removed to Boston, and was in the same btisiness until 
1854. He then went to England and was a partner with 
George Peabody for several years, and after Mr. Pea- 
body's death continued the banking btisiness for the 
remainder of his life. He was married to Juliet, daughter 
of Rev. John Pierpont, May 2, 1836. 

His name is entered as a member of the Parish in 1839. 
He was a member of the Vestry from 1 845 to 1 849, was

frequently appointed upon committees, and ever mani- 
fested much interest in parochial matters. He was a 
business man in the strictest sense, quick in his percep- 
tions, honorable in his dealings, and pleasant in his 
manners. He was frank, considerate, and direct, and 
possessed that factor of greatness which enables a man to 
express his ideas without a superfluity of words. Few 
men have o'one out from this town who have borne a 
better character for uprightness and ability in his special 
calling than our friend, who is pleasantly remembered by 
many now living. He died at Monte Carlo, April 8, 1890, 
and was laid at rest in Cedar Hill Cemetery, in this town, 
where other members of his family are buried. 

Voted, That the Rector, and Messrs. Ellis and Tracy be

income to be used for the benefit of the Parish. Reference 
to this Fund, with the letter of Mr. Goodwin, is made in the 
report of the committee on the Funds of the Parish, p. 141. 
Thanks were voted for the gift of this Fund, and the letter 
of Mr. Goodwin was ordered to be entered on the records of 
the Parish. 

May 2, V. After considerable discussion on the Trust

1895. 

April ij. There only remains to be mentioned a brief 
sketch of the proceedings at the annual meeting of the 
Parish. The usual officers were chosen. Mr. Matson had 
previously resigned as Treasurer, and Mr. S. B. Curtis was 
chosen in his place. The Rector read his report of the 
Benevolent offerings. A letter from Mr. Parsons, President 
of the Security Company, was read, and also a statement 
concerning the two Northam Funds. The reports of the 
Trustees of the Adams Fund, of the Chauncey Fund, and of 
the Lucy M. Goodwin Fund were presented and accepted. 
The resignation of E. M. Bunce, as one of the Trustees of 
the latter Fund, was accepted, and the usual appropriations 
were made. 

It will be noticed that the history of the Parish for the 
last dozen years has been but briefly sketched. It be- 
longs to a future historian to develop it more minutely 
than is proper at the present time. It only remains to 
impress upon all those who are transacting the business 
of the Parish a more careful preservation of all docu- 
ments, papers, bills, subscription papers, or whatever may 
relate to its history ; and, further, that these should be 
immediately passed over to the proper keeper of the same 
for preservation. Clearly kept accounts, faithful records, 
and complete files of papers are as essential materials of 
history, in a minor degree, for a parish, as well as for a 
town or nation. 

In bringing to a conclusion this contribution to a his- 



478 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD, 

tory of the Parish, one cannot avoid considering the 
differences which exist between its.past and present con- 
dition. These are due to the influences which have ex- 
isted in many other places, which have either driven the 
churches out of existence, or have much impaired their 
usefulness. This must ever be the case when the popu- 
lation has removed to a distance by the pressure of busi- 
ness interests, which has left no proper clientage for sup- 
port or continuance. It is a dumb show for Christian 
worship when there are no worshipers in attendance. 
Whatever claims may be made, however, for the continu- 
ance of consecrated houses, it should be remembered that 
the holy spirit of reverence which we entertain for them 
is violated not alone by their closure, but by allowing 
them to fall into decay by our neglect. They were 
erected for our religious instruction, and for the public 
worship of Almighty God. When these conditions no 
longer exist, and their influence can no longer be exerted, 
it is a question whether they add to the increase of true 
religion, but do not, on the contrary, give the unbeliever 
cause for reproach. 

But our Parish is in no such despairing state. Its 
early beginnings were in the hands of a few earnest men, 
who labored and spent for many years under great dilfl- 
culties, sacrifices, and oppositions. The Congregational, 
or " orthodox " body, was supreine in the land, and those 
outside of it were not regarded with much consideration. 
It was only by a union of these latter with a political 
party that a more liberal sentiment was established, and 
the Episcopal Church was allowed an opportunity for an 
abundant increase. The cause of true religion has suf- 
fered nothing thereby, and it is a inatter of congratula- 
tion that so much of our Liturgy and of special services 
in our Book of Common Prayer have now become famil- 
iar, and been adopted by the religious bodies around us. 
We ought not to complain of a partial use of our services, 



IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 479 

but rather thank God that other worshipers are willing 
to accept so much. When we think of the wonderful 
changes which have taken place since the first Episcopal 
Church was built in Hartford, now just one hundred 
years, we may justly look for still greater and more ex- 
tended ones in the century to come, and pray for a more 
perfect unity of all Christian men in religious belief and 
work. 

Anyone who reads carefully this record will see how 
this Parish has labored under pecuniary difficulties, and 
how much is due to the generous consideration of com- 
paratively a few individuals. In saying this, the aggre- 
gate of the smaller sums given by the many should not 
be overlooked ; the earnest zeal and the willing hand of 
the possessors of a few talents have had their full share 
in bringing this Parish to whatever of position and use- 
fulness it has attained. The spirit which has animated 
all must still be continued, and we must show to the world 
that our Church is the Church for the poor, as well as for 
the rich. 

During the one hundred years of the existence of this 
Parish we have had an unusual number of able men as its 
Rectors. Though the longest period of service of any one 
has been only thirteen years, yet there were causes for 
their removal which in no manner affected their efficiency 
or the love and esteem of the parishioners. Five of them 
have been or are now Bishops in the Churc'h, enterprising, 
pious, and devoted successors of the Apostles. Of the 
fifteen Rectors we may truthfully say, that all have labored 
to do their duty faithfully, and in the fear of God. If any 
of them found it convenient to leave us, under a " gentle 
pressure," the cause has been quite as much due to the 
temper of the Parish as it has been to themselves ; not one 
of all these gentlemen has failed in remaining faithful to 
the Church, with the exception of the first Rector, who 
left it of his own accord. 



480 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The Cliurchmanship of the Parish has been a fair rep- 
resentative of the Churchmanship of the Diocese. It 
loves the Book of Common Pra3^er, and adheres to the 
" doctrine, discipline, and worship" of the Protestant 
Episcopal Church. It has carefully avoided the extremes 
which have characterized some parishes ; it has had, in all 
the hundred years of its existence, no serious dissensions 
in regard to doctrine or ceremonies, but has pursued its 
middle way in peace and quietnCvSS. It is not boasted that 
its service to God and its duty to man has been larger 
or more faithful than that of other Christian bodies in the 
city, but it is charitably hoped that it can give a good 
account of its stewardship to the Divine Master at last. 

When it is stated that, at the erection of the present 
Church building in 1829, a majority of the parishioners 
lived upon Main street, or between Main street and the 
Connecticut river, and that comparatively a few only now 
reside in these localities, we can easily understand how 
much has been effected by a change of population. A 
different class of people, largely of foreign origin, occupy 
their places ; trade, occupations, and habits are entirely 
different. Much remains to be done before the assimila- 
tion is complete, and the energetic, thrifty, and intelligent 
American citizen is formed. This work calls loudly upon 
us, and needs our most serious consideration. Though 
reduced in numbers, yet with its endowments, and a faith- 
ful band of intelligent and zealous members, the Parish 
can still be successfully sustained, and enabled to do its 
full share of duty. There is no need for sensational 
devices, or extravagances in worship, either for sustaining 
it or extending its work. This is altogether outside of 
its traditions, or of any necessity, nor is it complimentary 
to men of sense that the undertaken work should be so 
covered up by secular devices, or alluring amusements, 
that it is difficult to see where the religious part of it 
comes in. It is possible that the linking of the world

IMPORTANT VOTES AND COMMENTS. 48 1 

and religion together has had something to do with the 
absence of so many from the public worship of God. 

There was never a time when the truths of the Bible 
should be more forcibly presented than the present. If 
Christians are in earnest they should be more aggressive 
and confident in their work ; it is folly to waste our ener- 
gies in refuting the arguments or sayings of idle men, 
who have nothing new to say, and only repeat what has 
already been repeated. It is well to consider that some 
things have been established, and that the religion of 
Christ is one of them. 

The old, old story is still interesting to men, and will 
draw them together in crowds, if it is presented with 
faithfulness and energy. It is not given to every one to 
do this work successfully, for there are diversities of gifts 
in this as in other occupations. While some are drawn to a 
vSerious consideration of their duty by the mild pleadings 
of a St. John, there are others who need the vigorous 
teachings of a Paul ; the quiet example of a holy life 
Avill bear its fruit with some, while line upon line and pre- 
cept upon precept are needed for the conviction of others. 

There was never a time in this bustling world when 
the whole truth could be better presented than the pres- 
ent. There was never a better time when the command 
to PREACH THE WORD was more obligatory or more 
hopeful than now. The wonderful changes in the condi- 
tions of men, which have given us more excitements and 
wordly desires, surely need the healthful restraint which 
can only come from an acknowledgment of a Divine 
Master, and of our responsibility to him. Eor this all 
Christians must pray, and that we may be One, in thought 
and action ; which may the Good Lord grant, for his dear 
Son's sake.

Mr. Nathan Starkweather has furnished the following 
memoranda and the maps : 

Oct. 6, 1762, the Episcopal society procured a lot for a church 
site from Charles Caldwell upon a lease of 999 years (which was 
equivalent to a purchase), bounded east by highway, south partly 
by land of Samuel Olcott and partly by land of said Caldwell, and 
west and north by land of said Caldwell, being 99 feet, 3 inches on 
highway, the same width in the rear, the north and south lines 
being parallel and extending west so far as to make exactly half 
an acre. 

The parish erected this church in 1792, and retained their lot 
until Aug. 27, 1794, when they conveyed Section A to David 
Goodwin, containing one rod and -f^^^. 

Church street seems to have been laid out from Main to Trum- 
bull streets in 1794, but the land required for it was not conveyed 
to the city until 1798. On Dec. 19, 1795, the parish conveyed Sec- 
tion B to Simon Clark, " beginning at a bound at the southwest 
corner where the said land adjoins the new opened street called 
Church street," etc. 

Oct. 4, 1796, the parish conveyed Section C to Simon Clark. 

Previous to 1807, Joseph Lynde had acquired the property 
north of the church lot, also Section C of the estate of Simon 
Clark. 

Dec. 8, 1807, the parish conveyed to Joseph Lynde the north 
portion of their lot, bounded south by a line parallel with the 
foundation of their church and eight feet distant therefrom, and 
west and north by land of said Lynde. 

In April, 18 10, Samuel Tudor purchased the Lynde property 
north of the church, and on July 31, 18 10, the parish conveyed to 
him the gore D E, 48^ feet in length and three feet wide at the 
west end.

Lts^ of Legal Members of the Parish. 

It is unfortunate that no complete list of the legal members 
of the Parish can be found. That which is recorded in the 
second volume of the Records was commenced in 1839, ^'^^ 
is believed to have comprised but a portion of those who 
were living at that time. Certainly some names were 
omitted of those who had been members for many years. 
Although the list is dated in 1839, yet it is difficult to state 
how many were entered in that year, but we know that 
many were signers during the years following. Not much 
care was exercised apparently until 1867, when requests 
were made at the annual parish meeting for the enrollment 
of new members. As the number present on these occasions 
was not very large, the opportunity was not embraced by 
many, who doubtless considered themselves as members, as 
much so as if legally connected. 



APPENDIX. 



495 



In this list those marked d, are dead; those r, have joined 
another parish, or have removed from the town; of not a few 
no definite intelligence can be obtained. The names in 
italics are present members of the parish. 

It is easy to determine most of the members of the 
parish in its early history by referring to the list of tax- 
payers, of which a few have been included in this volume. 

We, the undersigned, do hereby declare that we are, or that 
it is our desire and intention to become, members of the Society or 
Parish of Christ Church in Hartford. 

Dated at Hartford this first day of April, 1839.

No. 8. 
Celebration of Consecration of Church. 

A full account of this celebration was published in pamphlet 
form soon after its occurrence, but to put it in a more permanent 
shape it is incorporated entire in this volume, with the exception 
of the numerous names of the various committees. It was 
written by Mr. Nichols, the Rector, who was actively interested 
in the affair. 

It had long been a cherished project of some of the members of 
Christ Church Parish to observe in a fitting way the fiftieth anni- 
versary of the consecration of the present church building, when 
at the annual meeting of the parish, held Monday evening, April 
14, 1879, the following preamble and resolution were passed, on 
the motion of Dr. Gurdon W. Russell, viz.: 

" Whereas, The Semi-Centennial Anniversary of the Consecration of 
this Church will occur on the twenty-third day of December of this year, 
and as it is desirable that this should be noticed in a public and proper 
manner, therefore,

APPENDIX. 499 

Resolved, That the Vestry be authorized and requested to make such 
appointments and arrangements as may be necessary for the celebration 
of this Anniversary in December next." 

Acting upon this request the Vestry, at a meeting held Sattir- 
day evening, June 21st, voted, "That a committee of five be 
appointed to make suitable arrangements for the Semi-Centennial 
celebration of this parish, and said committee have power to ap- 
point sub-committees at their discretion." The following gentle- 
men were chosen : 

Dr. Gurdon W. Russell, Chainnan, Messrs. David T. Lanman, 
George Beach, Charles H. Northam, and William L. Matson. 

This committee had several meetings at the Mercantile National 
Bank, and at Dr. Russell's house, and the following order of exer- 
cises was decided upon for Tuesday, December 23d, the fiftieth 
anniversary of the Consecration of the Church: 

10.30 A. M. Service, with sermon by Bishop Clark of Rhode 
Island, rector of the parish 1851-55. 

2.30 p. M. Address by the rector, and history of the parish by 
Mr. Charles J. Hoadly, clerk of the parish 1 864-1 879. 

7.30 p. M. Reception at Allyn Hall. 

It was also decided to ask former rectors of the parish to 
officiate in the church on Sunday, December 21st. (Fourth Sun- 
day in Advent.) 

As soon as the arrangements had taken definite shape, neatly 
engraved invitations were sent to all clergymen who, from pre- 
vious associations, or otherwise, would be likely to have an in- 
terest in the event. These invitations were in the following 
form: 

1829. Semi-Centennial. 1879. 

CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

December 23d, A.D. 1S79. 

You are respectfully invited to attend the Semi-Centennial Celebra- 
tion of the Consecration of this Church. 

Former Rectors of the Parish will officiate on Sunday, December 
Twenty-First. 

Tuesday, December Twenty-Third, Fiftieth Anniversary of the Con- 
secration.

Special invitations were also sent to the Right Reverend Dr. 
Horatio Potter, Bishop of New York, the only one living of those 
who ofificiated at the Consecration; to the Hon. S. H. Huntington, 
the only survivor of the Vestry as it was at the time of the Con- 
secration; to Mrs. William Jarvis, whose husband, the late Rev. 
William Jarvis, took part in the Consecration services; and to Mrs. 
Henry Bolles, who sang soprano in the choir on the day of the 
Consecration. Mr. L. B. Goodman was appointed a committee to 
receive visiting clergymen. 

The pressure of Christmas work made it impossible for :nany, 
who would otherwise have accepted the invitations, to take part 
in the celebration, and the former rectors living out of town were 
unable, for the same reason, to be present, either on Stmday the 
2ist, or on the 23d. The letters that came were full of expressions 
of interest in the event, of regret that the writers could not be 
away from home at the time of the celebration, and of good 
wishes for the future of the parish. Many of these letters con- 
tained reminiscences of associations with the old parish that were 
numbered among the happiest and holiest in life. Mention may 
be made, among many others, of the names of Bishop Potter of 
New York, Bishop Coxe of Western New York, Bishop Lee of 
Delaware, Bishop Kerfoot of Pittsburgh, the Rev. Drs. Morgan, 
W^ashburn, Payne, Fairbairn, D. R. Goodwin, Leeds, Geer, Bolles, 
Coit, Beardsley, Harvvood, Clerc, Brainard, and Rev. Mr. Corson ; 
most of these named having been in some way associated with the 
past of the parish. Prominent among the good wishes for the 
occasion were those of the Rev. Dr. R. M. Abercrombie, rector 
from i856-i86i,and the Rev. Robert Meech, rector from 1868-1874, 
whose absence, made necessary by Christmas duties, was a dis- 
appointment to many who had counted on seeing them. 

The order of services on Sunday and Tuesday, December 21st 
and 23d, has been already given. 

To give a full account of the reception which was held at Allyn 



APPENDIX. 501 

Hall, the evening of the 23d, beginning at 7.30, it will be necessary 
to go back a little. At an early stage of the arrangements the 
general committee consulted with some of the ladies of the parish, 
and found a general belief that the ladies for their part would un- 
dertake to prepare the collation for the proposed evening recep- 
tion. By way of testing the matter several ladies were asked to 
serve as heads of committees, and it was decided to send to every 
family in the parish the following circular : 

TO THE PARISHIONERS OF CHRIST CHURCH. 

On Tuesday, the 23d of December ne.\t, it is proposed to celebrate the 
semi-centennial of the consecration of our Church. In the evening there 
will be a 

RECEPTION AT ALLYN HALL, 

for the church people of Hartford and invited guests from abroad, for 
which there is to be a collation provided. As this collation is to be fur- 
nished by the parish, we send the enclosed postal card, asking that every 
family will agree to send something for the table, however little. Will 
you please fill in the blanks as may suit your convenience, and return it 
to the committee on or before Saturday, the 226. of November. 

The answers to this request were very prompt and generous, 
and it soon became evident that all expectations would be fully 
realized. 

So large was the provision for the collation, it should be said 
here, that enough was left over to send large Christmas contribu- 
tions to the Widows' Home, the Church Home, the Alms House, 
and many individuals. 

A general meeting of the ladies of the parish was held in the 
Church, Wednesday morning, November 26th, at which the com- 
mittees for the collation were appointed in full. 

For many days before the Semi-Centennial these vainous com- 
mittees were actively engaged upon the details of preparation, so 
that, when the evening of the reception came, there were decora- 
tions in the hall in good taste, an attractive supper-room with 
boimtifully laden and handsomely arranged tables, a large corps 
of waitresses with uniform caps and aprons, a goodly number of 
ushers, and a large Reception Committee to welcome parishioners 
and guests. Each committee could be distinguished by the color 
of its satin-badges, which had printed on them : " Semi-Centennial 
Reception of Christ Church, Hartford, Conn., 1 829-1 879." The 
badges of the General Committee of Arrangements were gold 
color ; of the Committee on Supplies, maroon ; of the Committee 



502 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

on Table Furniture, navy blue ; of the Committee on Serving* the 
Collation, light blue ; of the Committee on Decorations, pink ; 
and of the Reception Committee and ushers, white. The 
music was furnished by Adkins' Orchestra. On the stage of the 
hall there was a display of plants in pots, and a shield properly 
inscribed. There were also shown the original elevations of the 
present church, with a tower differing from the one afterwards 
built. 

Besides the invitations to the clergy, cards of admission to the 
reception of this form : 

"CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD, CONN. 

1829-1879. 

Semi-Centennial, Dec. 23." 

had been issued to parishioners and all others specially interested 
in the parish, and it was estimated that between six and seven 
hundred were present at the reception. It added much to the en- 
joyment of the evening to have Bishop Williams, and many former 
worshipers in Christ Church now connected with other parishes, 
at the hall. The evening passed pleasantly and rapidly away, and 
ended a day which in all its associations cannot fail to be a memo- 
rable day in the history of Christ Church Parish. 

It seems proper to give a brief account of the steps leading to 
the gift and erection of the new buildings with which the church 
begins it second half-century, together with a description of the 
buildings themselves. Without touching upon the sacred motives 
or the shrinking modesty with which the matter was first broached, 
the earliest formal action was taken at a special meeting of the 
parish held in the old chapel, Monday evening, November 18, 1878. 
At that meeting a letter was read from Mrs. James Goodwin, as 
follows : 
"My Dear Mr. Nichols: — 

" It may be desirable for you to have a definite statement of what we 
wish to do, to lay before the parish meeting. I therefore send you the 
following : 

" Having long felt the need of better accommodations than the present 
chapel affords for carrying on our parochial work, we will, with the con- 
sent and approval of the parish, erect a suitable and convenient building 
for such purposes. 

" The only conditions of the gift are that such satisfactory provisions 
be made as will prevent its alienation, and that it shall always be kept in 



APPENDIX. 503 

good repair and properly insured, so that, in case of its destruction by 
fire, there may be the means for rebuilding it. 

Yours very truly, 

LUCY M. GOODWIN. 

"Thursday, Nov. 14, 1S78." 

This letter was accompanied by a ground-plan of the proposed 
buildings. It was thereupon 

Resoh'ed, That this Parish approves and accepts the proposition ot 
Mrs. James Goodwin (embodied in her letter to the Rector, of Nov. 14th, 
and the accompanying draft), to erect a Parish building and recess chan- 
cel for the church, recognizing the great advantage that will in many 
ways accrue to the Church through the gift, and expressing its sense of 
the large generosity the proposition carries with it. 

Resolved, That Rev. W. F. Nichols, Messrs. George Beach, David T. 
Lanman, and Dr. G. W. Russell be a committee with power to take all 
steps necessary on the part of the parish to facilitate the carrying out the 
above proposition. 

It was at once determined to enter into negotiations for such a 
readjustment of boundary lines and rights of way in the rear of 
the church as would secure a site for the new buildings, and Mr. 
I. B. Davis was commissioned to ascertain the cost. Two thou- 
sand dollars were raised by subscription to purchase a piece of 
land required, and Mr. D. T. Lanman and Dr. Gurdon W. Russell 
were appointed the agents of the parish to act in the whole matter. 
After many delays, during which the Senior Warden, Mr. George 
Beach, rendered much assistance, all the papers necessary to con- 
vey the piece of property to the parish, and to change rights of 
way to the western end of the church lot — the former rights of 
way having been between the church and the old chapel — were 
passed Wednesday morning. March 12, 1879.^ 

In order to meet the agreement made in accepting the gift 
" that such satisfactory provisions should be made as would pre- 
vent its alienation." at a special meeting of the parish held Mon- 
day evening. May 5, 1879, Dr. G. W. Russell and Mr. D. T. Lan- 
man were appointed the agents of the parish to transfer to the 
"Trustees of Donations and Bequests for Church Purposes" the 
land on which the buildings were to be erected, the deed of trans- 
fer to contain certain limitations and conditions. 

At the time that Mrs. Goodwin and her daughter, Miss Mary 
Goodwin, first proposed to build a Memorial Chapel and Parish 
Building in connection with Christ Church, no alteration of the 
church itself was contemplated. 



504 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The Rev. Mr. Nichols, then Rector of the Parish, however, 
urged that unless some provision was made for the enlargement 
and improvement of the chancel, it could never be made afterwards. 
He suggested that the Wheaton memorial fund would provide for 
the stonework and glass of the window, and that other memorials 
were contemplated which would go far towards furnishing the 
necessary fitting. Mrs. and Miss Goodwin, however, provided 
everything but the window, the Reredos, the Chancel Rail, and 
the Credence. The Pulpit, Prayer Desk, and stalls were designed 
by Mr. F. C. Withers and executed by Ellin & Kitson of New 
York. The brass Lectern was made by John Hardman & Co. of 
Birmingham, England. The stones of the Chancel Arch were set 
in rough blocks and the moulding cut after they were in position. 
Much of this work, together with that of setting the stone steps, 
was done at night in order that everything might be completed in 
time for the Semi-Centennial services. The total cost, $30,106.19. 
The Chancel Rail was given by Miss Brinley. 

On Thursday, the 8th of May, the work of demolishing the old 
chapel began, photographs having been taken of it and of the 
chancel as it was originally arranged. While the new buildings 
were in process of construction, the south porch of the church was 
used as a robing-room, and owing to the ingenious device of a 
partition built up six feet from the wall on the inside of the church, 
and good management on the part of the builders, the work of 
cutting through the chancel arch did not interfere with holding 
services in the church but one Sunday. 

The Rev. Francis Goodwin, who had at the first drawn the 
ground-plan and reached the solution of the difficulty of finding room 
for all that was wanted on the space to which the buildings were 
limited, gave the whole work a most thorough and valuable over- 
sight, and on the morning of the semi-centennial, in behalf of Mrs. 
Goodwin, he delivered to the Rector of the Parish, in the presence 
of the Senior Warden, the keys of the finished and furnished 
btiildings. 

The memorial window to the Rev. Dr. Wheaton, referred to in 
the description to be given of the new buildings, was purchased 
by a fund originally raised by means of a fair and concert, in 
December, 1872, and since that time held by an association known 
as •' The Wheaton Memorial Fund Association." 

The subject of the Transfiguration of our Blessed Lord was 
ultimately chosen for the window ; the figure from Raphael's 
Transfiguration, painted on canvas, having been presented to the 




GANGWAY, FROM CHURCH STREET, 
1835-1870. 



APPENDIX. 505 

Parish by the Rev. Dr. AVheatoii, and having htmg in the window- 
frame back of the pulpit before the window just removed was put 
up. When the addition to the church was projected, the Window 
Committee accepted a proposition from Mrs. Goodwin to have the 
supervision of putting in the window undertaken by those who 
had the other changes in charge, and finally appropriated the 
amount on hand for that purpose. The fund, which at first was 
$2,278, in the meantime under the careful management of Mrs. 
Henry Wilson, the treasurer, had increased to over $3,000. There 
seemed to be an especial fitness in having for the beginning of the 
second fifty years of the church such a beautiful memorial to him 
to whose exertions and architectural taste and skill it was, under 
God, due that the first fifty years began with so noble a building. 
It is hoped that the chiirch may before many years have within it 
memorials to other names the parish holds in loving memory. 

The new carpet was paid for in part from a fund raised by the 
ladies of the parish a few years since, of which Mrs. John Jarvis 
was treasurer, and in part by subscriptions from several of the 
gentlemen. The balance in the hands of the treasurer for the 
celebration was also appropriated towards the carpet. 
A full description of the improvements is added: 
The ground occupied by the new building covers a space in the 
rear of the church of 92 feet by 42 feet. The principal entrance 
from Church street leads into a hall 7>^ feet wide, with tiled 
lobby; from thence on the right into a study for the rector, in 
which is a large four-light bay window, dressing-room, closets, etc. 
Opposite to this room is one for the meetings of the vestry, 24 
feet by 15,'/^ feet. At the end of the main hall, and on the wall 
facing it, is a montiment, removed to the new building, formerly 
erected by the "Episcopal Female Benevolent Society of Hart- 
ford," in memory of Mrs. Mary Morgan, widow of Dr. Titus Mor- 
gan, who was seventeen years President of the Society. The 
entrance on the west, designed more especially for the children, is 
connected with the main hall and leads to the chapel, which is 55 
feet by 24 feet, with sitting accommodation for about 200 adults, 
che seats being arranged with reversible backs for Sunday-school 
purposes. This room is 17 feet high. The ceiling was made flat 
so as to bring the roof below the sill of the chancel window, and 
is constructed with solid molded oak beams resting on stone 
corbels, the space between them being paneled with ash divided 
by molded ribs. The wooden altar with screen at back, used in 
the church since its erection in 1829, has been put up at the end 



506 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

of the chapel as a relic of the old work. In the basement in con- 
nection with this room is a large Sunday-school library. The 
staircase, which is amply lighted by a four-light window in the 
upper part, and also by a large skylight, leads from the first land- 
ing directly into the body of the church through a doorway cut 
through for that purpose. On the .second floor is a fine room in- 
tended for a parish room; this is 40 feet by 24 feet, besides the 
bay-window, which is four feet deep. The window in the gable 
at the end of the room which faces Main street is of three lights, 
with stone tracery in the head. The principal roof timbers, which 
are oak, are exposed to view, and the ceiling carried to the collar 
beams, gives a total height of 1 7 feet. In connection with this 
room are three large closets, one for the use of the Ladies' Mis- 
sionary Society, one for the sewing-school, and one for the 
mothers' meetings. There is in the basement a room for mission- 
ary stores. At the end of the parish room, and in the rector's 
study and robing room, there are brown stone mantels, with 
pressed brick jambs and backs. An entrance from the staircase 
to the north gallery of the church, for the use of the school 
children, has been made by cutting through the wall and forming 
a doorway. The floors throughout are of yellow pine, and the 
rooms are wainscoted in ash, and all the woodwork of doors, 
trimmings, etc., is of the same material. The windows through- 
out are filled with cathedral glass in ornamental patterns of various 
tints set in lead work, and were furnished by Charles Booth of 
New York, An opening has been made in the west wall of the 
church, and a lofty molded arch of Ohio stone inserted in it; the 
jambs consist of one central and two angle columns, with molded 
bases, capitals, etc., the centre columns are stopped half-way 
down the jambs by carved heads; the archivolt is deeply molded 
with a label molding stopped on carved heads. On account of the 
size of the ground the chancel could only be made about 16 feet 
in depth, and 20 feet in width. The roof is of oak in the form of a 
barrel vault with moulded ribs and elaborately carved bosses at 
their intersection. On the south side of the chancel is a large rob- 
ing room, which is entered through a molded stone arched door- 
way. The floor of the chancel is carried on two large iron girders 
with brick arches between them, and is raised above the platform 
at the end of the nave by four stone steps to the level of the inner 
chancel. The space between the steps and wall is laid with Min- 
ton's encaustic tiles, and the walls skirted with a molded base of 
Tennessee marble. 



APPENDIX. 507 

The brass lectern, which stands on the platform in the form of 
an eagle, was made by John Hardman & Co. of Birmingham, Eng- 
land, and the chancel gas-fixtures were made by the same firm. 
The prayer desk is of carved oak; the ends of the seats are richly 
paneled and are finished with exquisitely carved poppy heads. 
The pulpit is placed on the north side of the church arch, and is 
also of oak richly paneled and carved. The altar is a beautiful 
specimen of workmanship; it is of oak 6}/i feet long by 2 feet 3 
inches wide, the front is divided into three panels by small but- 
tresses, in the center one is a large maltese cross, in that on the 
right are the letters, I. H. S., and in the other, C. H. R., the Greek 
initial letters of our Lord's name " Jesus Christ." Under the slab, 
on which are carved five crosses, is inscribed in raised letters, 
" This do in remembrance of me." These pieces of furniture were 
made and carved b}' Ellin & Kitson of New York. For the lectern 
a large Bible has been provided, and for the prayer desk and altar 
handsomely bound prayer books and hymnals. 

A fund had been accumulating for some time for a stained- 
glass window, which the Parish was desirous of putting up to the 
memory of a former rector of the Church — the Rev. Dr. Whea- 
ton. The subject chosen was the Transfiguration of our Blessed 
Lord, and the stone work of the chancel window was accordingly 
designed with special reference to it. It is a window of three 
lights, with perpendicular stone tracery in the head, divided by a 
transom. The execution of this glass was entrusted to the well- 
known artists, Messrs. Heaton, Butler & Bayne of London, and 
they have succeeded in making a most glorious and enduring work 
of art of which the Church may well be proud. In the center 
light above the transom is a figure of our Blessed Lord with His 
hand uplifted in the act of blessing ; on the right is Moses with 
the stone tablets, and on the left Elias holding a book. The 
three disciples, Peter, James, and John, with awe-struck faces, 
fill the lower lights. In the borders surrounding the figures are 
numberless angels. The color of the whole window is rich and 
harmonious, and will repay a careful study. 

The Reredos, which is the gift of Dr. Gurdon W. Russell, the 
senior warden of the Church, is of Caen stone ; it consists of 
three bays, with canopied heads, decorated with carved crockets 
and finials, divided bj' pinnacled buttresses. In the center bay, 
which is recessed, is cut in relief a large cross resting on three 
steps set in a groundwork of carved diaper. Above this, in the 
head of the arch, is the Sanctus Spiritus in the form of a dove, 
which is carved in full relief. The side bays are paneled, and the 



508 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

super altar is inscribed with the words holy, holy, holy, cut in 
reh'ef. The credence table for the holy vessels is of Ohio stone 
recessed in the north wall of the chancel ; a carved bracket forms 
the lower shelf, the head is cusped, and in the spandrils above 
are carved the grapevine and ears of wheat. This is a gift from 
the Misses Watrous, in memory of their father, Seymour Watrous, 
and their sister, Rebecca Webster Watrous. The communion rail 
of oak with wrought brass standards is the gift of Miss Brinley. 

A brass tablet is placed on the north wall of the chancel op- 
posite the door to the robing room, with this inscription : 

" In memory of 

James Goodwin. 

Born March 2, 1S03. Died March 15, 1878." 

The exterior of the new buildings is designed to be of a do- 
mestic style of architecture, of a somewhat later date than that 
of the church. The walls are built of Portland stone through- 
out, and all the jambs, mullions, and tracery of windows are of 
the same material. The faces of the walls are built in random 
work with square beds and heads with a rock face, and the dress- 
ings are tooled. The building has been thoroughly protected by 
copper lightning rods, put up by Denniston & Wallace. In the base- 
ment is placed the boys' water-closet, which is paved with blue- 
stone tiles. The cellar floor is of English Portland cement. In the 
cellar are two furnaces, for heating the chapel and Parish building, 
and a sink. Each room in the new building has been completely 
furnished for the use to which it is to be put, and for the security of 
the Parish records a fire-proof safe, made by Marvin & Co., has 
been provided. The new platform has been covered with a rich 
Axminster carpet, and a new carpet laid in the church. The con- 
tractors for the different works were : Mason, Watson Tryon ; 
carpenter, John C. Mead, both of this city, and carvers, Ellin & 
Kitson of New York ; the plumbing and gas fitting by James 
Ahern ; iron work by George S. Lincoln & Co. and John Shepard ; 
furnaces by Olds & Whipple ; gas fixtures by the Bradley & Hub- 
bard Manufacturing Company of Meiiden, Conn. ; carpets and 
cushions by Talcott & Post ; furniture by Robbins Brothers. The 
whole work has been done in a thorough manner, and is very 
creditable to all engaged in it. Mr. Charles W. Sprague has been 
the very efficient superintendent of the works. The whole of the 
designs were made and have been carried out under the superin- 
tendence of Mr. Frederick C. Withers, of 71 Broadway, New 
York.

The memorial windows are all under the gallery ; there are 
four of them on the north side of the church. 

1. Commencing at the northwest, and the first to be put in 
place, is that to Isaac Toucey andhis wife. Catherine. The subject, 
the Three Marys at the Tomb, is artistically treated, and the 
colors are very pleasing, being bright and clear. Makers, Lavers, 
Barroimd, & Westlake, London. "Be not affrighted; ye seek 
Jesus of Nazareth which was crucified; he is risen; he is not here: 
Behold the place where they laid him." 

ENTERED INTO REST.

Mr. M. B. Copeland of Middletown, long a friend of Mr. Wilson, 
was requested to prepare a sketch of this window, and kindly 
furnished the following. After describing t-he Memorial which 
had been placed in St. James Church, Greenfield, Mass., and the 
service in commemoration. Mr. Copeland says: 

[ This occasion, so full of interest, most naturally suggested to many 
present the fitness of placing an equally significant Memorial in Christ 
Church, Hartford, where so large a portion of Mr. Wilson's fife was 
spent, and where the best of his life work was done. 

Action to this end was immediately taken. A committee was formed 
of which the Rev. Mr. Nichols, rector of the parish, was Chairman. 
They took the matter in charge, and their discussions and deliberations 
resulted in the fixing upon a Memorial Window, as the most desirable 
form to adopt, and it was decided to give opportunity first of all to the 
late music-pupils of Mr. Wilson so far as they could be reached, to 
contribute to the fund to be raised. This was done, and the invitation 



5IO CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

was responded to with cheerful promptness and generosity on all sides. 
The amount of these contributions was supplemented by those, of a 
number of personal friends. Designs for the work were solicited. 
Christ Church Parish had long previously decided that all Memorial 
Windows to be accepted, must in their character have reference to some 
incident connected with the life of Christ, and as a typical example of 
Mr. Wilson's genius was the Christmas Cantata "And there were shep- 
herds abiding in the fields," the "Angels of the Nativity " was adopted as 
the subject of the window. An order for the work was given to Messrs. 
Heaton, Butler & Bayne of London, who designed the beautiful, highly 
artistic glass that now adorns Christ Church, being the first window on 
the North side of the Church, appropriately near to the then organ 
gallery. 

In the upper portion of the window appear the angelic host sounding 
forth the Gloria in Excelsis, and underneath are the shepherds with their 
flock, the figures all most carefully studied and artistically presented. 
The work is of a very high order. 

The inscription reads : 

" To the Glory of God and the Dear Memory of 

HENRY WILSON. 

Born A.D. December 2, 1S2S, Died January 8, 1878, Organist of this 

Church, 1855-1877. 

THIS WINDOW IS AN OFFERING FROM HIS PUPILS AND FRIENDS." 

The completion of the window was the occasion of a memorial service 
held in Christ Church on New Year's day, 1884. The church was filled to 
overflowing. The Rev. Mr. Nichols conducted the service, assisted by 
the Rev. Mr. Huntington of St. James Church, Hartford, and the Rev. 
Mr. Finch of St. James Church, Greenfield, Mass. The address of the 
rector was very impressive and admirably suited to the occasion. The 
musical portion of the service was most feelingly rendered by the well- 
known "Christ Church Quartette" so intimately associated with Mr. 
Wilson and his music. His anthems, chants, and hymns sung by them 
at this time, they had sung many times under his inspiring leadership ; 
most of them, indeed, were written by him for their voices. 

The Rev. Dr. Burton of the Park Congregational Church, a particu- 
larly dear and long-time friend of Mr. Wilson, and a member of the 
Memorial Committee, read in behalf of the Committee, an exquisitely 
worded expression of their great satisfaction at the cordiality with 
which they had been supported in their work, by the pupils and friends 
of Mr. Wilson, expressing also thankfulness that it had been their 
privilege to take part in a work so satisfactory and so sanctified by tender 
recollections. A deep sense of appreciation and of obligation was 
expressed for the valuable services of the Choir who had by their singing 
so materially contributed to the enrichment and the hallowed character 
of the service. Melvin B. Copeland.]

On the north wall of the church are two Memorial Tablets, an 
ornamented one of marble, to Mrs. Lydia Huntley Sigourney,

In the year 1891 a window was erected by James J. Goodwin 
and Francis Goodwin in memory of their father, James Goodwin, 
their mother, Lucy Morgan Goodwin, and their sisters, Sarah 
Morgan Brownell and Mary Goodwin. 

The position selected was on the west wall of the church, south 
of the Chancel Arch. In order to give the effect of a transept, 
the gallery was removed from the western bay of the south aisle, 
and the window, which was formerly short, was lengthened to 
correspond with those on the south side, but as there was light 
only over the upper part, the lower half of the window was filled 
with painted tiles. The jambs, mullions, and tracery are in 
Portland stone. 

The subject illustrated in the window is Faith, Hope, and 
Charity, and a rendering of the XXXI chapter of Proverbs, 
suitable to the memory of a good woman, wife, and mother. 
" Her children arise up and call her blessed." In the tracery is a 
glory or halo with clouds of Cherubim and Seraphim. The design 
was made by one of the best English artists in painted glass, 
and executed by Heaton, Butler & Bayne of London. The 
architectural work was designed by Mr. Frederick C. Withers of 
New York. 

No. 10. 

[The money collected for a memorial to Miss Mary Goodwin 
was used in placing a reredos over the altar in the chapel. It is 
over 7 feet long and 4 feet high, and is divided into three panels 
— a large central panel and two narrow panels — one on each 
side. These panels are filled with stone mosaic pictures illustrat- 
ing the good works of Dorcas. The art of mosaic, which is the 



APPENDIX. 513 

art of putting together small cubes or tessercz — as, the pieces of 
hard stones, marbles, and glass are called — is of very ancient 
date, and was known to the Egyptians and the Assyrians. The 
book of Esther tells us that beds of gold and silver in the palace 
of Shushan stood " upon a pavement of red and blue and white 
marble." In Pompeii are to be found all varieties of stone mo- 
saic, known to either Greek or Roman. The central panel of the 
reredos represents Dorcas giving clothes and food to the poor, 
and the side panels bear the legend, " This woman was full of 
good works," which is on a scroll twined around a branch of 
lilies," and alms deeds which she did "on a scroll twined around 
a branch of passion flowers." These mosaic panels are framed in 
polished Irish-green marble. Cut in the marble underneath the 
pictures is the inscription — 

To THE Glory of God 

AND 

In loving memory of Mary Goodwin, born 9 April, 1846. 
Died 28 October, 1880. 

The entire reredos was made from designs by George Keller, 
architect, by Messrs. Burke & Co., of Chicago and London. The 
cartoons for the pictures were made by an English artist, Mr. 
Alexander Booker of London. 

A brass cross upon the altar in memory of Charles T. Russ, 
a much-loved superintendent of the Sunday-school, has been 
placed there from contributions of the teachers and scholars, and 
this inscription. 

in loving memory 

OF 

Charles Trumbull Russ. 

Born January 16, A.D. 1853. 

Died May 2, A.D. i88j. 

From the Sunday School. 

"God is Love." G. K.] 

Other gifts in the chapel are two windows from Mrs. Lucy M. 
Goodwin, made by H., B. & Bayne, the one with the subject, 
"The Three Marys at the Tomb," and the other with the text, 
"I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth on me, 
though he were dead, yet shall he live." 

A new organ was placed in the church in 1889, at a cost of 
$6,700. This was secured by numerous subscriptions, a gentle- 
man of the parish having offered to double the amount thus ob- 
tained.

No. II. 

Dr. Hoadly in his Annals of the Parish, refers to the services 
performed by Rev. Roger Viets in Hartford between 1764 and 
1775. His brother, Mr. George E. Hoadley, has furnished me with 
a copy of the same, which is here printed. He was a missionary 
of the S. P. G., and was rector of St. Andrew's Church in Sims- 
bury, and officiated in many places in that neighborhood. He 
resided near the church, in that part of the town called Scotland, 
where he had gathered a large congregation ; it was so near to 
Hartford that it was undoubtedly visited by many of those who 
wished their children to be baptized, or were desirous to be joined 
in marriage. This record of services by him will be read with 
interest by many, and no apology is needed for placing it in this 
history.

Mr. Viets was one of the many loyalists w^lio removed to Nova 
Scotia after the war of the Revolution. He settled at Digby, 
where was founded Trinity Church, and here he officiated until 
his death in 1811. He was an energetic and useful man, whose 
services were valued in an extensive region of that Province. 



APPENDIX. 517 

During a visit to Digby last summer an examination of the parish 
records was made with the hope and expectation of finding some- 
thing of value and interest relating to the early history of the 
church in Connecticut. That fate which has been common to 
many historical documents also made his papers useful in lighting 
a fire. 

He returned to Connecticut on a visit to his friends in the sum- 
mer of 1800 and was heartily greeted by them. The record of 
his services while here, which was copied from the register in 
Digby, by G. E. H., shows that he was retained in kindly remem- 
brance. 

No. 12. 

The following letters, copied from the letter book of Mr. Viets 
at Digby, will be read with interest. 

New London, Nov. 6"', 1786. 
To the Reverend Mr. Viets— and to the Church Wardens of the 
church lately under his care. 
Gents 

Trusting to your candour and Regard to the Interest of the Re- 
ligion we profess, we take the Liberty of addressing you on the subject 
of the Church now building in this City. In the attack made by a de- 
tachment of the British Army under Gen. Arnold in the year 1781, It 
was our very great misfortune to lose our church in the general Conflag- 
ration of the Town. Had our property been saved the loss of our 
Church would scarcely have been felt ; but the Houses, furniture and 
the greater part of the Property of most of us, shared in the destruction. 
Having however in some degree recovered from the difficulties to which 
we were reduced, and being anxious to enjoy again the publick Service 
and Sacraments of our holy Religion, we have in the Course of the two 
last summers been exerting ourselves to build another Church, and have 
by GOD's blessing accomplished the covering dnd flooring of it, but our 
members being few and our circumstances reduced, we unhappily find 
ourselves unable to proceed so as to make it fit for the Service of God 
Almighty, and must for some considerable Time at least, soon lose the 
benefit of what we have done unless we can find some Assistance among 
our humane and benevolent Brethren in the State. We therefore 
earnestly request, you will be pleased to permit and encourage a Collec- 
tion to be made in your Churches for our City, on such Sundays as you 
think proper, and we assure you, we shall not only entertain a gratful 
sense of your kindness, but shall be ready to assist in our turn any dis- 
tressed Congregation that shall suffer under the same or equal disasters. 
We are very sensible the Congregations of Norwalk and Fairfield have 



5l8 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

undergone the same disaster with ourselves, but we trust their Sympathy 
will induce them to give this mark of Compassion for their fellow suflfer- 
ers — Whatever maybe collected for this good purpose, by being con- 
veyed to the Rev. Mr. Jarvis of Middletown, will be forwarded and 
thankfully received, by Rev"* Sir and Gentlemen your affectionate hum- 
ble servants, 

Jonathan Starr Tun' ) ^, , „, 

"L r. }■ Church IVaraens.

I do hereby certify the foregoing to be a true and just representation, 
and do heartily recommend it to the particular attention of all the Epis- 
copal Congregations in the State. 

S. Bp. Connect. 

New London, Nov. 8"', 1786. 
Reverend and Dear Sir, 

I congratulate you on your return to your family from your late voy- 
age,* and on the favourable prospects that were presented to you in Nova 
Scotia. I hope they will all be perfectly realized. 

Though your connection with the Congregations formerly under 
your care is dissolved, yet I have taken the liberty to enclose to you the 
application of the congregation of St. James Church in this City, to the 
church Wardens of your late congregation, requesting your favorable 
[answer] to it. 

The offers of Brothers Jarvis and Hubbard determined me to come 
into the measure, and I should be glad to see it repeated on such emer- 
gencies as will justify it. My best Regards attend on M". Viets, accept 
my best wishes, and believe me to be effectually and sincere 

S. Bp. Connect. 

To the Reverend Mr. Roger Viets. 

Claremont, Jan. 17''', 1787. 
Dear Sir, 

Whereas Mr. Ambrose Cossitt informed this church that it was pro- 
bable they might obtain the Rev. Mr. Viets to be their minister in this 
town, we being anxious to do everything in our power to promote our most 
Holy Religion, and would lose no time in procuring so good a man as Mr. 
Viets— we therefore held a vestry on this day, and after discoursing on 
this subject, came to the following vote, viz.: That the Wardens give 
the Rev. Mr. Viets of Simsbury a call to this Church. We therefore, in 
behalf of said Church, as well as ourselves, do humbly ask the Rev. Mr. 
Viets to make us a visit in this Town as soon as convenience will admit, 
and tarry with us a few Sundays if convenient with your affairs, in which 
time you can determine whether you would settle with us or not, which 
favor we shall gratefully acknowledge, as well as think ourselves bound 
to compensate for the same.

family at Digby. 



APPENDIX. 519 

We would also mention that money being so scarce this part of the 
Country we would propose paying you in Wheat, Flour, or Meat Stock. 

We do not mention the State of the Church in the several towns on 
Conn. River in this Country, as we suppose Mr. Cossitt has given you a 
particular account. 

To We are Reverend Sir in behalf 

The Reverend Mr.Viets, of the Church your affectionate 
Simsbury, Friends and humble servant, 

Connecticut. Hazael Warner. 

Wardens. 

Fragment of a letter from Samuel Peters of London to Rev. 
Roger Viets of Digby, Nova Scotia, taken from the letter-book of 
R. V. at Digby, July, 1895, by George H. Hoadley. The first seven 
pages of the book are missing. The book consists mostly of 
letters from the secretaries of the S. P. G. and R. V.'s letters in 
return. 

. . . " If you had chosen to have gone to New Brunswick, you 
would have enjoyed Parliament grant to that Colony, and not what is 
given to Nova Scotia Colony. The Society have done as well by you as 
by Scovil and Andrews &c, but they could not allow acts of Parliament, 
nor they ever discriminate between you and Scovil. They meant to 
have you seat yourselves according to your own wishes and choice, as 
well as possible. You cannot receive any salary cash or before the act of 
Parliament took place, and so early does your salary begin as Dr. Morice 
has written you. I beg that you and all the Clergy of my acquaintance, 
to write your letters to Dr. Morice (as Secretary) in such a manner as if 
they were to be printed verbatim and literatim; we were never careful 
enough while in Conn, in forming our public letters, but wrote as if we 
had been writing to a friend, whereas the Society expects formality, as 
among them are sundry members not friendly to the Missionaries or the 
Missions, who are members ex officio and not by^ choice. Tell this to our 
good brethren. The Yorkers found this out and guarded against it, and 
so obtained character better than others who were better men. Governor 
Franklin is sensible, as to his sincerity, you may be a better judge than 
others. His assistance may be useful on your side of the water, but here 
he cannot help you if his friendship extended beyond himself. Whigs 
rule the roost, and will continue to do so until the talked of Compensation 
is made to the Loyalists. 

Gov. Franklin may be in office again when Tories reign again. 

As to my being bishop of Acadia, I do not expect it, but I hope to 
prevent you from being tormented with a bad and useless bishop. 

The American clergy are here styled Tories, except Duche, Coombes, 
Inglis and R n, and that with the baseless Face, made by the rub-

bing on the Stony Hearts of Bps and great men, sent Chandler without 
a Mitre back to the Jersies, where he will find as much sincerity and 
honour in his light of life, as he ever manifested here in the day thereof. 
The painters of old were inspired when they drew poor silly fortune 
without eyes, for she knows not what the day will bring forth till the dye 
is cast, it was so from the beginning, and therefore brother Weeks was 
the only man among all your friends, who knew how to advise you. 

Teaze not j^ourself about it, but like Issachar bow down between 
two burdens, starvation and complaint. Weeks has not always believed 
that whatever is, is right, this idea he learnt from being curate at Halifax, 
and loosing Annapolis Mission, to show his gratitude to Dr Morice and 
me who got him the place, on account of his family and his fair promises 
and prayers. When he got to Halifax, he discovered his talents to be 
very great, and his oratory greater, which Heavenly blessing he could 
not think of hiding under a bushel at Annapolis, as his preaching was 
highly approved of in Halifax, where the " Court was." 

My influence goes no farther with the Court or Society than 27 years. 
Experience has gained, and King Ahasuerus, with 127 prisoners under 
him, could not cure the gout, nor keep off a single pain, and though he 
rotted in Cloth of (iold, I shall be as well off as he, when I sleep in a 
shroud spun by the spider and the worm. Do you believe that Byles, 
Walter, or Weeks, would vote me to be your Bishop, while each of them 
is bound in his own conscience to vote for himself, they all having had 
their birth in Mass. Bay, and do you think I should be of any service to 
your Church and comfort to myself if I was your bishop ? I am not afraid 
nor ashamed to say, I am more able and better qualified to be a bishop 
than many here, and even Provost and White, who were consecrated at 
Lambeth on the 4"' Feb., 1787, by our own Arch Bishop and Bps. " to 
frighten the Beast of Ephesus " (N. London alias). 

The first wonder in Heaven St. John saw while at Patmos, was a 
woman, and the second was Michael and his Angels contending with the 
great red dragon and his angels. All I can say now is, " come and see " 
the Event of — divide et impera — a factious and ruined people. 

If our Bps. and Clergy were as zealous for the Church as the Romish 
Clergy are, we should have no dissenters. My mind glows with zeal for 
the church of my God and the offices thereof, but I am like the impotent 
man, unable to help myself, and few or none here doth good. 

If the Church is supported in purity, it will be in your Country, not 
in Europe, and all that supports it now is, the Court, who use the Bps. as 
the monkey used the Cat, they all divine for money, and the dissenting 
Whigs love to have it so. When I come to you with power, I will do you 
good ; in the meantime, I will not forget our juvenile friendship, nor 
have I done it, altho I have not been of essential service to you, and 
therefore merit not your thanks. 



APPENDIX. 521 

Dr. Warren preached before the Society this day. He is Bishop of 
Bangor, and was only heard by us in his Belly. My daughter was safely 
delivered of a son 24"' Jan., 1787, and I am now made old at 50 and going 
on. 

I have tired and worn out my pen to convince you that I have not 
forgot your fidelity and friendship. I have wrote by two ships last 
autumn to you. Scovil and Andrews we heard of at New London. 

Kiss my sister Phebe her young branches about her table. 

Jonathan Trumbull is dead and went mad to his own place, because 

he had so lived. Judas and he are spans. 

Adieu, dear sir. 

Samuel Peters.

NOVI 0R8IS APOSTOLI SIT NOMEN PERENNE 



SEABURY'S MITRE: IN TRINITY COLLEGE, HARTFORD, CONN. 



This mitre with its crown of thorn , 

Its cross upon the front ; 
Not for a proud adorning worn, 

But for the battle's brunt : 
This helmet — with Salvation's sign. 

Of one whose shield was faith ; 
This crown — of him, for right divine 

Who battled unto death ! 



Oh ! keep it — till the moth shall wear 

Its comeliness to dust, 
Type of a crown that's laid up where 

There is nor moth nor rust ; 
Type of the Lord's commission given 

To this, our Western shore ; 
The rod of Christ — the keys of heaven, 

Through one, to thousands more.

Bp. of Western New York.

Additions and corrections have been made in this list of burials to make it 
more correct, so that more appears than is to be found in the original record. 
Mr. George E. Hoadley has been very helpful in this matter. 



DIOCESAN CANON \\.— Of Parochial Registers and Reports. 

Sec. I. In order to give effect to Title I., Canon XVIII., Section i, of the 
Digest, it is hereby required that every Minister of this Church shall keep a regis- 
ter of all the baptisms, marriages, and funerals solemnized by him, specifying the 
names of the parties married, of those baptized, and of their sponsors, and of the 
persons buried, and the time when each rite was performed. He shall also enter 
therein the names of the persons confirmed, of the communicants, and of the fam- 
ilies belonging to his Parish, which register shall be deposited with the Clerk, in 
case of his removal from the Parish. 



ADDENDA. 



Christ Church, Parish House, 

Hartford, Conn., Dec. 9, 1895. 

Dear Dr. Russell : 

The enclosed tables of footings and averages should be accompanied 
by the following 

Notes. 

1. The footings are approximately, not absolutely, correct. The 
early records were imperfectly kept and hence in them as in later chron- 
icles one finds errors of both omission and commission. 

2. The average of attendance in 1894-95 is probably more accurate 
than others, for during that year the number present at the two principal 
services were counted by three persons, and their returns compared be- 
fore the entry was made. If the same care had been taken in previous 
years it is probable that the decrease, if any, would not be so marked. 

3. The gradual removal of families from the business quarter to 
the residence portion of the city, increases distance from the Church, and 
furnishes a ready excuse for non-attendance. 

4. A comparison of the average number of communions, with the 
number of communicants enrolled, seems to demand some explanation. 

{a.) j\Iany whose names appear in the List of Communicants are 
persons who have received Lutheran confirmation, and had been ad- 
mitted to the privileges of full membership in Christ Church in years 
previous to my coming. A large proportion of these do not commune at 
all in our church, and some not oftener than twice yearly, at Xmas and 
Easter. 

{b.) Some who attend other churches regularly have neglected to 
ask for the canonical letter of transfer, preferring to retain membership 
in this Parish. Hence their names still appear on our Ust, although they 
neither attend the services nor contribute to the support of the Church. 

It seems proper that the facts above stated should be borne in mind 
when one desires information regarding both the past history and pres- 
ent condition of the Parish. 

Faithfully, 

L. W. SALTONSTALL.

Draper Memorial Tablet. 

A handsome memorial tablet to the memory of the Misses 
Draper, who conducted the famous Draper Seminary for Young 
Ladies on Trumbull street for about thirty years, was unveiled in 
Christ Church on the morning of November first. Appropriate 
services were held. 

The service was that appointed for All Saints' Day. The 
morning prayer was said by the Rev. J. P. Faucon, assistant 
minister of the parish, and the Rev. Francis Goodwin ; the Holy 
Communion was celebrated by the Rev. Dr. Samuel Hart of 
Trinity College, the Rev. Dr. George H. Clark, formerly rector 
of Christ Church, reading the Gospel. After the Gospel Dr. 
Hart made an address, first reading the following letter from 
Bishop Williams to Mrs. Gurdon W. Russell : — 

MiDDLETOWN, October 31, 1895. 
My Dear Mrs. Russell : — 

I very greatly regret my inability to be present with you to-morrow 
at the memorial service in Christ Church. My memories of the Draper 
family in Greenfield and of the school in Hartford go back more than 
sixty years. When I came to Hartford in 1833 I found the school in full 
success, and doing an admirable work, such work as it continued to do 
as long as its founders lived. It occupied a prominent position among 
the girls' schools of the period, a position which I think it never lost. 

I rejoice to know that a memorial to the Misses Draper is to be placed 
in Christ Church, where they so long worshiped, as members of a parish 
in whose welfare they always took a deep and generous interest. 

I am, very truly yours, 

J. WILLIAMS. 

The Memorial Tablet. 

The tablet is placed on the south wall of Christ Church, 
between the two center windows. It is of brass and is mounted 
on an Alp green marble slab. The tablet was made by the Gor- 
ham Manufacturing Company and cost about $400. Other ex- 
penses brought the total to nearly $500. The fund was contri- 
buted by about 100 pupils and former teachers of the school. 



734 CHRIST CHURCH, HARTFORD. 

The tablet bears the following inscription. 

To the Glory of God 

And in Grateful Memory of four sisters, Eliza Charlotte Julia 

and Catherine Draper, 

This memorial was here placed on 

All Saints Day, 1895, 

by some who had been their pupils, 

1831-1863. 

" They that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament." 



Letter from Rev. Mr. Finch. 

St. James' Rectory, 
Greenfield, Mass., Nov. 8, 1895. 
Dr. Gurdon W. Russell — 

Dear Sir : As illustrative of the fact that Christ Church, Hartford, 
Conn., was, at one time in its history, a missionary center to a large 
outlying region, the following notes are furnished from the records of 
St. James' Church, Greenfield, Mass.: 

•' On the same day (Sept. 24, 1812), previous to the above mentioned 
agreement " (agreement signed by those interested in forming an Epis- 
copal parish), " the Rev. Philander Chase, Rector of Christ Church, in 
Hartford, Connecticut," who had encouraged the people to take this 
step, " performed divine service and delivered a lecture at the Congre- 
gational meeting-house in this town, and the holy ordinance of Baptism 
was administered to twelve persons. 

" On the evening of the 25th of September service was performed 
and a lecture delivered by Rev. Mr. Chase, at the house of John E. 
Hall. From this time until the November following we assembled reg- 
ularly every Sunday at our respective houses and performed Divine 
Service and read sermons." 

Mr. Thos. Chapman and Mrs. Ehzabeth Hall, having been ap- 
pointed by the parish to solicit funds for the erection of a church build- 
ing, the rector, wardens, and vestrymen of Christ Church, Hartford, 
gave them a letter bearing date March 17, 1813, commending their cause 
to the clergy and laity of New York city. This letter is signed as fol- 
lows : 

Philander Chase, Rector. 

John Morgan. ) y^^^^aens. 

Michael Olcott, ) 

James Ward, 

Charles Sigourney, 

Wm. H. Imlay, 

Eliakim Hitchcock, 

Samuel Tudor, Jr., ^ Vestry.

Cyprian Nichols, 

Roswell Bartholomew, 



ADDENDA. 735 

This letter was endorsed March 24, 18 13, by John Henry Hobart, 
Assistant Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church, New York. Six 
hundred dollars were raised as the result of the trip to New York. 

"On Sunday, May 9, 1813, Mr. Chase performed Divine Service at 
the Church room and administered the Holy Sacrament of the Lord's 
Supper. 

" In the afternoon Divine Service was performed at Mr. C. Munn's 
Hall, on account of the number of people being- so great that they 
could not all be accommodated in the room at Mr. Hall's. The ordi- 
nance of Baptism was administered to six persons. 

" On Monday the loth day of May, A.D. 1813, between the hours of 
9 and 10 o'clock, a. m., the Corner Stone of St. James' Church was laid 
in the northwest corner of the foundation for the Church by the Rev** 
Philander Chase, Rector of Christ Church, Hartford." (The service for 
this occasion, arranged by Mr. Chase, is entered in full in the records.) 

Mr. Chase preached the sermon at the Consecration of the Church, 
Wednesda3% Aug. 31, 18 14." 

Truly Yours, P. VOORHEES FINCH. 



The illustrations for this voltime were obtained from photo- 
graphs and oil paintings, sometimes after much difficulty and 
research. That of Rev. Mr. Wainwright is from a painting 
owned by his son, the late Wm. A.M. Wainwright, M.D. That 
of Rev. Dr. Wheaton is from a painting owned by the late 
Samuel Tudor, which is now in the library of Trinity College. 
Those of Rev. Mr. Burgess and Rev. Mr. Chauncey are from 
paintings in the art gallery of the Watkinson Library by the 
elder Flagg. That of Dr. Smith was found in the interior of 
New York, much impaired, but was skillfully restored. Photo- 
graphs of all these were taken by the Stuarts of this city, and 
rendered into autotypes by Bierstadt of New York.
